Dear Friends,

We wanted to share with you an article we just published in Public
Health Reports on using Google Earth for community mapping.  We think
Google Earth is a very useful tool for allowing non-experts to make
maps illustrating the community context for health problems.  This
post also contains two of the maps created by our residents and
medical students.

We also wanted to mention a few other recent postings on the Portal
that may be of interest:

The 1970 film, Out in the Rural, illustrates the Community Health
Center in Mount Bayou Mississippi established by Jack Geiger. It can
now be viewed at:

And we also have a brief interview (done driving in Manhattan) with
Peter Mansfield of Healthy Skepticism:
