  TIPHER is the umbrella organization responsible for School of Hope, as well as House of Hope, a nonprofit clinic, also at the Westside Community Center that provides medical and dental services for a nominal fee depending on income levels.
  
  "Irma is a retired school counselor, so she also teaches the students such skills as the importance of being on time, wearing the correct attire and how to answer the telephone correctly," Campos said.

  "Good things are happening there," said Dr. Carlos Campos, executive director of The Institute for Public Health and Education Research.As an advocate for affordable health care, the physician traveled to Washington, lobbying for grants and legislation around the time House of Hope broke ground last year under TIPHER.
  
  To the delight of Campos and others, the clinic's doors opened in late January, offering appointments one half-day a week - Thursday afternoons.With Tuesday operations now under way as well, Campos said, the ball has just kept rolling.
  
  "By April, our first hope was to do Monday-through-Thursday half-days," he said, adding that "the neatest part is how grateful the patients have been.They're just happy that somebody's there."

  "We're celebrating fitness, fiesta and fun," said Dr. Carlos Campos, executive director of The Institute for Public Health and Education Research and local physician.
  
  Campos said the Cinco de Mayo celebration came about when a Mexican garrison of about 4,000 ill-equipped Mexican soldiers smashed the French and traitor Mexican army of 8,000 at Puebla, Mexico, 100 miles east of Mexico City on the morning of May 5, 1862.
  
  "It really underscores what people can do when they're passionate, committed and focused on certain issues," he said "The people at the Westside Community Center are passionate, focused and committed and feel that we can overcome and conquer overwhelming odds in the things we see in our programs such as hunger and drop out rates."
  ...
  However, Campos said there can't be a fiesta without food.
  
  "Holy Family Catholic Church is taking care of the food," he said.

  Dr. Carlos Campos said the clinic will house two dental chairs, and dentists and dental assistants will volunteer their time to the clinic.
  
  There also will be two examining rooms and a pharmacy located inside the clinic, Campos said.
  ...
  Comal County is in dire need of additional resources for medical and dental care for its indigent, impoverished and under-insured residents, according to a newsletter by Campos, executive director of The Institute for Public Health Education Research.
  ...
  Campos who was instrumental in getting the clinic built said he wanted to include the whole community while building the clinic.
  
  "We're getting the whole community to take ownership of this building," he said."We have master gardeners volunteering and New Braunfels Utilities will provide landscaping manpower.We want to reach out and invite everybody in."
  
  Funds to build the clinic came from a block grant and generous donors.
  
  "The clinic cost us $100,000 for materials and guess what -we got the money," Campos said, adding that "$75,000 came from a community development block grant and the other $25,000 came from other organizations and people who wanted to donate money."
  
  Campos said he is exploring using the clinic in the afternoon to provide charitable medical and dental services.He said he is also thinking about providing a substance abuse clinic in the morning.
  
  By the time these volunteers leave, the building should be dried in," he said."The clinic is planned to be completed in early or mid-summer."
  
  As for naming the clinic, Campos said he is holding out for the "Good Samaritan Clinic."
  
  Munoz-Gill emphasized that the clinic is based on the Good Samaritan concept.
  
  "It's what we should be like to our neighbors," she said.

  Nonetheless, "it's one of the biggest diseases that affects us," says Dr. Carlos Campos, a physician who also serves on the American Diabetes Association's national subcommittee for Hispanic initiatives.
  ...
  Dr. Campos says a big part of the problem is a fear of insulin stemming from the myth that it causes health problems.People remember, he says, that their grandmother "was put on insulin and within the year she had to be put on kidney dialysis, or she had to have her foot cut off."
  ...
  A diet heavy with white flour, potatoes, and white rice makes matters worse, Dr. Campos says, because, in diabetics, these high carbohydrate foods can cause dangerous spikes in the body's blood-sugar levels.
  ...
  "We need to starting eating things that have a lot more fiber in them," says Dr. Campos, who recommends dietary tweaks such as replacing white rice with brown rice and eating sweet potatoes instead of potatoes.
  
  A healthier diet and regular exercise "will make all the difference in the world," he says.
