Health Dialogues: HIV/AIDS in California

HIV/AIDS in California
Join Health Dialogues as we explore HIV/AIDS in California. How will the President's National HIV/AIDS Strategy affect our state?

Our State of Health: California Reports

New Blog from Health Dialogues

Health Dialogues has launched Our State of Health: a blog chronicling health in neighborhoods and communities across California. Over the next year, our citizen correspondents will be our eyes and ears on the ground, so we can form a more complete understanding of just what state our health is in.


Current Episode

End of Life Care

Join Health Dialogues as we explore issues surrounding the end of life. What role does culture play, what does insurance cover and what are some ways to plan for the inevitable?



Recent Episodes
Rural Health in Northern California

Rural areas attract few hospitals or specialists, and transportation and weather conditions can add to difficulties in getting health care needs met for a population that has higher rates of poverty than cities. Join us as we take a road trip down Highway 299, and learn how medical professionals are working to bring quality care to this remote part of Northern California.


Prison Health Care

The health care system for California's inmate population has been troubled for years, and a court-appointed receiver currently oversees prison health care. Now the Schwarzenegger administration wants the University of California to run the system instead. Join Health Dialogues as we take a look at prison health care today, and what it might become in the future.


California Brownfields

Throughout California, there are likely tens of thousands of properties that lie unused due to some kind of pollution. These so-called brownfields can be detrimental to the public health in a variety of ways. Join Health Dialogues as we explore California brownfields: some ignored, some successfully cleaned up and others somewhere in between.
