Doctors whirl around you, but you don’t know what's happening because everyone is speaking a foreign language.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s what happened to farmworker Angelina Diaz-Ramirez, 50, after she had a heart attack in a Monterey County green bean field in 2012.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The foreman of her work crew took her to the main road and put her in an ambulance, alone. Diaz-Ramirez is an immigrant from Mexico, and while there were Spanish-speaking staff, she was still isolated by a language barrier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's because Diaz-Ramirez, like a third of California farmworkers, speaks a language indigenous to southern Mexico. She doesn’t understand Spanish. Her language, Triqui, is as different from Spanish as Navajo is from English.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://vimeo.com/140479930\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the hospital, without a Triqui interpreter, “no one explained anything to me,” said Diaz-Ramirez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was scared, but I didn’t have a choice,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As anesthesia blotted out the operating room, Diaz-Ramirez had no idea a surgeon was about to cut open her chest to implant a pacemaker.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Medical Interpreters Are Key\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Diaz-Ramirez’s case highlights the importance of trained medical interpreters, researchers say.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'No one explained anything to me.

She adds that interpreters also “increase physician satisfaction with the care they deliver.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Medicine, she said, is not an antiseptic, scientific process. Doctors can’t just scan, medicate and operate.

Doctors had exhausted every option, and the family was gathered in the intensive care unit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is it, this is the moment where we’re going to disconnect the tubes,” said Gastelum. “It seemed like they understood. But in such a crucial moment like that, it would have been so much better to have a culturally sensitive, in-person interpreter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most hospitals, including Gastelum’s, have telephone services that should let doctors call up an interpreter for any language. In practice, though, the system doesn’t always work for more unusual languages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you try to use the phone interpreter line to get the indigenous speaker, you’ll be on hold for like two hours,” said Jasmine Walker, also a pediatrician in Fresno. “Then when you get them, they don't actually speak the language that you need.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seth Holmes is a physician who lived and worked alongside Triqui migrant farmworkers for 10 years and wrote about his experiences in the book \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.ucpress.edu/book.php?isbn=9780520275140\" target=\"_blank\">Fresh Fruit, Broken Bodies\u003c/a>.\" As the migrants followed crops up and down the West Coast, they often asked Holmes to accompany them to health clinics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In dozens of clinics throughout California, Washington and Oregon, he said, “I have never seen any Triqui person get a medical interpreter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hospitals may underestimate how many indigenous patients they have -- and how many interpreters they need -- because many providers assume all Mexicans speak Spanish. Some indigenous people may be afraid to call attention to themselves by asking for an interpreter because they are undocumented.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They don't know that they’re entitled to someone who speaks their language,” said Leoncio Vasquez, who has been training interpreters for 15 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Any health care facility receiving public money has a legal obligation under both state and federal law to provide an interpreter to every patient who needs one. But only a few health care providers have made\u003ca href=\"http://www.indigenousfarmworkers.org/\" target=\"_blank\"> California’s 120,000 indigenous farmworkers\u003c/a> an explicit priority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Interpreting a Big Opportunity for Some Farmworkers\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brigida Gonzalez, wearing a big \"Qualified Interpreter\" badge, hustles around Natividad Medical Center in Salinas.

Doctors had exhausted every option, and the family was gathered in the intensive care unit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is it, this is the moment where we’re going to disconnect the tubes,” said Gastelum. “It seemed like they understood. But in such a crucial moment like that, it would have been so much better to have a culturally sensitive, in-person interpreter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most hospitals, including Gastelum’s, have telephone services that should let doctors call up an interpreter for any language. In practice, though, the system doesn’t always work for more unusual languages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you try to use the phone interpreter line to get the indigenous speaker, you’ll be on hold for like two hours,” said Jasmine Walker, also a pediatrician in Fresno. “Then when you get them, they don't actually speak the language that you need.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seth Holmes is a physician who lived and worked alongside Triqui migrant farmworkers for 10 years and wrote about his experiences in the book \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.ucpress.edu/book.php?isbn=9780520275140\" target=\"_blank\">Fresh Fruit, Broken Bodies\u003c/a>.\" As the migrants followed crops up and down the West Coast, they often asked Holmes to accompany them to health clinics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In dozens of clinics throughout California, Washington and Oregon, he said, “I have never seen any Triqui person get a medical interpreter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hospitals may underestimate how many indigenous patients they have -- and how many interpreters they need -- because many providers assume all Mexicans speak Spanish. Some indigenous people may be afraid to call attention to themselves by asking for an interpreter because they are undocumented.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They don't know that they’re entitled to someone who speaks their language,” said Leoncio Vasquez, who has been training interpreters for 15 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Any health care facility receiving public money has a legal obligation under both state and federal law to provide an interpreter to every patient who needs one.

(Jeremy Raff/KQED).\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The study does not explain why FIT Zones worked only in one place, but Lawrence said the parks’ locations within their respective neighborhoods may have made a difference. Jack Farrell is central and visible, so anyone walking by could see cops and kids playing together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MLK Park, by contrast, is so hidden that the city has put up a half-dozen signs with arrows leading visitors through the neighborhood to the park. The entrance is at the end of a cul-de-sac, and most of the park faces the San Francisco Bay. That makes it harder for residents to notice that more people, and police, are using the park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Public Health Approach\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fit Zones are about reducing shootings, but also about improving health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We know that communities like East Palo Alto suffer from high chronic disease rates as well as high crime,” said Gaines. “Assuming people are less active in East Palo Alto out of fear, we asked, 'Can we do something that addresses both?' And the answer was Fit Zones.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawrence credits the city's police chief at the time, Ron Davis, for implementing the program. Davis thought \"the police department had a role to play in the health of residents,” said Lawrence. “He is a visionary guy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In East Palo Alto, shootings are down, and people at Bell Street Park said that a safe place to play has helped them improve their own health. A 14-year-old girl named Paluteia was playing volleyball after rock-band practice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of my family is overweight,” she said, but “seeing other people work out, it's motivating. I can do more, and there are other people who will do it with me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I started, I was 397 pounds,” said Smokey, another regular. “I weighed myself last Saturday, and I was 332 pounds.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, health indicators are much worse in East Palo Alto than in the surrounding affluent cities.

But we’re in the light, we’re saying hello.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re just like regular people. They come play games, they mess up, they do good,” said Carl Mitchell, a high school student. “At least while they’re here, they’re acting good, let's say that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cops’ attitudes may also be changing. “I’ve really seen a shift in the police officers' perspective,” said Lawrence. When the program started, she interviewed participating cops. “I asked why they were doing it, and quite frankly a lot of them said, ‘I’m getting paid to exercise.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now,” said Lawrence, “those same officers are saying, ‘These are my kids,’ and really taking ownership.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brian Lee, an East Palo Alto police officer, struck up a conversation with a 5-year-old boy who was poking at a dead opossum during a FIT Zone event. As they were chatting, Lee realized, “I knew his dad from the streets. He was a known drug dealer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The boy's father had been murdered on Michigan Avenue, next to Jack Farrell Park, the same block where Lee and the boy now both ride bikes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I had personally taken his dad's homicide report,\" Lee says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee has his own kids, so he could appreciate how sharp the boy was for his age, how bright a future he could have, given a chance. \"Imagining this child's future,\" Lee says, was \"one of the most powerful things I've felt.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

Researchers had used data from ShotSpotter, a gunshot detection system, to select the sites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The overall idea,” said Melvin Gaines, who works for the City of East Palo Alto and has been with the project since it started, is for “residents to overwhelm the negative activities with positive things, so bad guys don’t feel comfortable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With police officers providing security, community members began riding bikes, playing soccer and volleyball, and taking free nutrition classes from the staff of a nearby health clinic.

(Jeremy Raff/KQED).\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The study does not explain why FIT Zones worked only in one place, but Lawrence said the parks’ locations within their respective neighborhoods may have made a difference. Jack Farrell is central and visible, so anyone walking by could see cops and kids playing together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MLK Park, by contrast, is so hidden that the city has put up a half-dozen signs with arrows leading visitors through the neighborhood to the park. The entrance is at the end of a cul-de-sac, and most of the park faces the San Francisco Bay. That makes it harder for residents to notice that more people, and police, are using the park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Public Health Approach\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fit Zones are about reducing shootings, but also about improving health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We know that communities like East Palo Alto suffer from high chronic disease rates as well as high crime,” said Gaines. “Assuming people are less active in East Palo Alto out of fear, we asked, 'Can we do something that addresses both?' And the answer was Fit Zones.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawrence credits the city's police chief at the time, Ron Davis, for implementing the program. Davis thought \"the police department had a role to play in the health of residents,” said Lawrence. “He is a visionary guy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In East Palo Alto, shootings are down, and people at Bell Street Park said that a safe place to play has helped them improve their own health. A 14-year-old girl named Paluteia was playing volleyball after rock-band practice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of my family is overweight,” she said, but “seeing other people work out, it's motivating. I can do more, and there are other people who will do it with me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I started, I was 397 pounds,” said Smokey, another regular. “I weighed myself last Saturday, and I was 332 pounds.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, health indicators are much worse in East Palo Alto than in the surrounding affluent cities.

But we’re in the light, we’re saying hello.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re just like regular people. They come play games, they mess up, they do good,” said Carl Mitchell, a high school student. “At least while they’re here, they’re acting good, let's say that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cops’ attitudes may also be changing. “I’ve really seen a shift in the police officers' perspective,” said Lawrence. When the program started, she interviewed participating cops. “I asked why they were doing it, and quite frankly a lot of them said, ‘I’m getting paid to exercise.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now,” said Lawrence, “those same officers are saying, ‘These are my kids,’ and really taking ownership.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brian Lee, an East Palo Alto police officer, struck up a conversation with a 5-year-old boy who was poking at a dead opossum during a FIT Zone event. As they were chatting, Lee realized, “I knew his dad from the streets. He was a known drug dealer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The boy's father had been murdered on Michigan Avenue, next to Jack Farrell Park, the same block where Lee and the boy now both ride bikes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I had personally taken his dad's homicide report,\" Lee says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Don’t call Marty Turcios inspiring. Yes, he motivates and challenges his students, but not simply because he’s a golf coach with cerebral palsy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, his students say it’s his commitment to self-directed learning that is so empowering.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the center of his coaching is this question: “When we teach, are we teaching people to think for themselves?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://vimeo.com/120747574\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday mornings, Turcios critiques the golf swings of able-bodied UC Berkeley students at the Tilden Park driving range. Some regulars have been coming for two years; others are holding a golf club for the first time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the uninitiated, it is surprising to see Turcios, with his spasmodic movements and halting gait, swing a golf club. But he says his disability is not his problem: “My problem is how people look at me with a disability.”\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Oppressive Misconceptions\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the 1960s, the disability rights movement grew out of the movement for civil rights. Activists criticized what they called the medical model of disability, which is the idea that people with, say, cerebral palsy are broken and must be rehabilitated by medical experts to rejoin society—in other words, to \"fix\" them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The social model of disability, by contrast, says that people with disabilities are actually the experts on their conditions, and that they should be free to define their own normal. Society’s role is not to fix them, but to remove barriers to independent living by providing housing subsidies, assistive technology, choice of medical providers and other help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_24142\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/stateofhealth/wp-content/uploads/sites/27/2015/03/Marty_Toothbrush.png\">\u003cimg class=\"size-large wp-image-24142\" title=\"\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/stateofhealth/wp-content/uploads/sites/27/2015/03/Marty_Toothbrush-640x360.png\" alt='With cerebral palsy, everyday tasks can be time-consuming, but Turcios says \"disability is not my problem...my problem is what people see.\" (Jeremy Raff/KQED)' width=\"640\" height=\"360\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Though everyday tasks can be time-consuming, Turcios says \"disability is not my problem … my problem is what people see.\" (Jeremy Raff/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another barrier is the baggage that comes along with having a disability. Ingrid Tischer of the Disability Rights Education & Defense Fund says misconceptions are a common burden. “Nobody wants to carry around being the personification of everyone’s worst nightmare,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Turcios, for his part, says cerebral palsy is not as disabling as the stereotypes that come with it. “It’s a dismissive attitude—‘we’ll \u003cem>let\u003c/em> you do this, but it’s not real—you’re not doing it the way we would.' ” He says that if it weren't for him, disability and all, activities such as teaching golf in Concord to autistic teens and vets with PTSD wouldn't happen at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Turcios, who is 55 and lives in Martinez, provides instruction every Tuesday to Veterans Administration patients at a Concord driving range. “I really connect with them,” Turcios said, “because I probably suffered PTSD, too, only from the way I had to grow up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_24143\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/stateofhealth/wp-content/uploads/sites/27/2015/03/Marty-Coaching.png\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-24143 size-large\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/stateofhealth/wp-content/uploads/sites/27/2015/03/Marty-Coaching-640x360.png\" alt=\""Sometimes he helps you realize you're more capable than you think," said Katie Keliiaa, a UC Berkeley student.

In a \u003ca href=\"http://www.ted.com/talks/stella_young_i_m_not_your_inspiration_thank_you_very_much/transcript?language=en#t-291496\" target=\"_blank\">TED talk titled \"I'm not your inspiration, thank you very much,\u003c/a>\" she said: “I've lost count of the number of times that I've been approached by strangers wanting to tell me that they think I'm brave or inspirational … just kind of congratulating me for managing to get up in the morning and remember my own name. It's objectifying ...” she said, calling the phenomenon \u003ca href=\"http://www.abc.net.au/rampup/articles/2012/07/02/3537035.htm\" target=\"_blank\">“inspiration porn.”\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The burden of these stereotypes contributed to Turcios’ alcoholism. He’s been sober for decades but says, “I could fall apart all over again in a heartbeat. That’s the reality of my life.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coaching gives him stability and a sense of meaning. “I love to watch people -- disabled and non-disabled -- be successful at something they thought they couldn’t do,” he said. “To watch people change their outlook.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, he said, “in a lot of ways I’m helping myself more than anything else. I’m getting out of my head, and that’s why it works so well.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

Activists criticized what they called the medical model of disability, which is the idea that people with, say, cerebral palsy are broken and must be rehabilitated by medical experts to rejoin society—in other words, to \"fix\" them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The social model of disability, by contrast, says that people with disabilities are actually the experts on their conditions, and that they should be free to define their own normal. Society’s role is not to fix them, but to remove barriers to independent living by providing housing subsidies, assistive technology, choice of medical providers and other help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_24142\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/stateofhealth/wp-content/uploads/sites/27/2015/03/Marty_Toothbrush.png\">\u003cimg class=\"size-large wp-image-24142\" title=\"\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/stateofhealth/wp-content/uploads/sites/27/2015/03/Marty_Toothbrush-640x360.png\" alt='With cerebral palsy, everyday tasks can be time-consuming, but Turcios says \"disability is not my problem...my problem is what people see.\" (Jeremy Raff/KQED)' width=\"640\" height=\"360\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Though everyday tasks can be time-consuming, Turcios says \"disability is not my problem … my problem is what people see.\" (Jeremy Raff/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another barrier is the baggage that comes along with having a disability. Ingrid Tischer of the Disability Rights Education & Defense Fund says misconceptions are a common burden. “Nobody wants to carry around being the personification of everyone’s worst nightmare,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Turcios, for his part, says cerebral palsy is not as disabling as the stereotypes that come with it. “It’s a dismissive attitude—‘we’ll \u003cem>let\u003c/em> you do this, but it’s not real—you’re not doing it the way we would.' ” He says that if it weren't for him, disability and all, activities such as teaching golf in Concord to autistic teens and vets with PTSD wouldn't happen at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Turcios, who is 55 and lives in Martinez, provides instruction every Tuesday to Veterans Administration patients at a Concord driving range. “I really connect with them,” Turcios said, “because I probably suffered PTSD, too, only from the way I had to grow up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_24143\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/stateofhealth/wp-content/uploads/sites/27/2015/03/Marty-Coaching.png\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-24143 size-large\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/stateofhealth/wp-content/uploads/sites/27/2015/03/Marty-Coaching-640x360.png\" alt=\""Sometimes he helps you realize you're more capable than you think," said Katie Keliiaa, a UC Berkeley student.

It's objectifying ...” she said, calling the phenomenon \u003ca href=\"http://www.abc.net.au/rampup/articles/2012/07/02/3537035.htm\" target=\"_blank\">“inspiration porn.”\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The burden of these stereotypes contributed to Turcios’ alcoholism. He’s been sober for decades but says, “I could fall apart all over again in a heartbeat. That’s the reality of my life.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coaching gives him stability and a sense of meaning. “I love to watch people -- disabled and non-disabled -- be successful at something they thought they couldn’t do,” he said. “To watch people change their outlook.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, he said, “in a lot of ways I’m helping myself more than anything else.
