DFW International Community Alliance is conscious of the financial and emotional burden health concerns create for many of our families. Maintaining good health is a special preoccupation for New Americans, more than half of whom lack insurance. With all North Texans in mind, since 2003 we have published a Guide that has helped thousands of people access free or low cost medical attention. This project is made possible by corporate partners who value the contributions of the New Americans who revitalize our nation as well as those who were born here. We recognize that we are unique in the world because all Americans except for our indigenous people are descended from immigrants. Throughout our history we have relied on the expertise, strength, and special skills of foreign workers. Their cultures and the challenges they continue to face as they assimilate are the story of our country. Their hopes and dreams, their belief in family and freedom, continue to enrich and energize America.

Es por este motivo que DFW Internacional ha considerado sumamente prioritario editar esta gua que hoy llega a sus manos. Nuestro objetivo al realizarla es poder retribuir mnimamente a toda la comunidad de habla hispana, lo mucho que aportan a nuestro pueblo con su presencia, permitindonos disfrutar a diario de sus costumbres y cultura, las que al amalgamarse con las nuestras, nos produce un real enriquecimiento individual y colectivo. Esperamos que esta gua les sea de mucha utilidad, compensede alguna manera la incomprensin de algunos, valorice la sensibilidad de quienes estn dispuestos a ayudarlesdesinteresadamente a conservar vuestra salud ese bien tan preciado por todo ser humano, y la consideren como una muestra de gratitud y cario de nuestra nacin hacia la comunidad latina.
