Connecting consumers to reliable health care information or health care providers can be challenging for any institution. At the current time, there are two popular methods that allow consumers to access health care. One method to obtain reliable health-related information is through an electronic web-based resource.

A visit that I would like to talk about is with my 44 years old Hispanic male patient at his workplace. He has a history of diabetes and prehypertension, so the purpose of my visit was to evaluate how he was doing, and to educate him about nutrition and exercise to maintain good health. My patient is married man and has three children (8, 12, and 16 years old). His wife is a stay at home mother, and he is the only person working (as a car mechanic) in the family. He is a Spanish speaking patient, so a translator and one of my classmates accompanied me for this visit; however, he was able to speak and understand English decently. In the Hispanic population, heart disease, cancer, unintended injuries, stroke, and diabetes are the top causes of death (Allender, Rector, & Warner, 2014). Also, hypertension and obesity are major concerns in this population, and Hispanics are twice as likely as Whites to be diagnosed with diabetes (Allender et al., 2014). More Hispanics live at the poverty level, have lower level of education, and have higher uninsured rates compared to other racial groups
