Dr. Gil and Dr. Rendon Bring Hope
to Bronx Residents
Comunilife's President and CEO Dr. Rosa Gil enjoyed a triumphant
appearance on Bronxnet televisions "OPEN" program on December
8th, 2008 with her friend and colleague Dr. Mario Rendon.
The topic of discussion was the "Life is Precious" program
created to combat Latina Teenage Suicide. 1 in 6
Latina girls between the ages of twelve and sixteen will attempt
suicide, the highest average in the nation, according to the
Center for Disease Control. The average in New York
City is even higher and the Bronx is the hardest hit of the
5 boroughs. The "Life is Precious" program operates out of the
Vida Guidance Center in the Bronx.
