Cuídate is a community organization focused on the unique health issues in the East Orlando area. East Orlando has a large population of Hispanics with very high rates of chronic illness, especially heart disease and diabetes. A large number of people in East Orlando do not have health insurance. The East Orlando hospital emergency department is the fullest in the area, creating extremely long waits and sometimes people are leaving without seeing a doctor.
CONTACT US The Cuídate staff is bilingual and available to assist you with the following:
1) If you have heart disease or diabetes, lung disease or arthritis, we will provide you with free training on how to manage your chronic disease so you may improve your health and feel better.

2) We will help you enroll in Medicaid or KidCare or other forms of financial assistance for health care. Enrollment Specialists are available at various locations throughout the East Orlando community.
3) We will help you find medical clinics and low cost prescription medication available in the East Orlando area.

Our primary goal is to promote good health practices and link the Hispanic residents of East Orlando with valuable community resources.
