“The main goal of this symposium is to offer information from experts and researchers about health issues that ordinary people can fully understand,” says Hildemar Dos Santos, MD, DrPH, director of the Loma Linda University Health Drayson Center Preventive Care Clinic.
“Our speakers will discuss everything from how to prevent colon cancer, which is the second most common cause of death by cancer for both men and women, to the connection between prayers and health. This is a unique and free opportunity that members of the community will not want to miss,” he adds.
