Thank you, Melissa Garzon, MD (medical school in Columbia – yes, she, like Sofía Vergara is a sexy, educated, and intelligent Columbian – how cool is that!), MPH (Master of Public Health from UC Berkeley – where I got my BA), for creating this great infographic. I just LOVE Melissa. She laughs at my jokes. Not only that, she’s the Multicultural Coordinator for NAMI Orange County and handles Outreach and Social Media. For those who cannot read the infographic (the obvious downside of infographics is that not everyone can read graphics – why alt text or text following the graphic is so important), here’s what it says:
