CDC Launches Redesigned Spanish Web Site “CDC en Español”

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Spanish–language Web site, CDC en Español, has been re–launched with a new look and new features that will make it more usable and functional.

The updated Web site is another step in CDC′s efforts to provide accurate, up–to–date information in Spanish on health issues of special interest to Hispanic communities, including information on a wide range of health promotion and disease prevention topics like asthma, cancer, HIV/AIDS, immunizations, children′s health, diabetes and occupational hazards.

“The redesigned CDC en Español represents a vital source of health promotion and information for Spanish speakers,” said Dr. Julie L. Gerberding, Director of CDC. “CDC′s ongoing commitment to public health worldwide is expressed through our efforts to provide translation of vital information into Spanish to better serve all of our audiences for information. About half of the 16 million Hispanics online in the United States have expressed preference for Spanish–language Web sites and we are pleased to offer this improved tool.”
