BY MARTHA MENCHACA, MD, PHD As a radiologist in an urban academic center in Chicago, most of the patients I care for are from underrepresented communities and have limited access to health care and health education. Myriad barriers cause many of our patients to seek health care later in their disease course, which increases health disparities. As an RSNA member, I know the many resources available via RadiologyInfo.org to help radiologists provide patient-centered care.

Américo Paredes, musician, scholar, and folklorist, was born on September 3, 1915, in Brownsville, Texas. Born to Justo Paredes, a rancher, and Clotilde Manzano-Vidal, he was named Américo by his mother after the Italian navigator, Amerigo Vespucci, as “the result of a promise to an aunt and her Italian sailor husband.”Growing up bilingual, Paredes had an ear for the cadences and rhythms of both Spanish and English, whether written, spoken, or sung.
