National Hispanic Medical Association Helps Launch New MOVIMIENTO,
Por Su Vida CD
  Hispanic/Latino Work Group Vice-Chair, Dr. Jaime
Torres, associate director of Consultative
Services, Coler-Goldwater Specialty Hospital, who represents the National Hispanic
Medical Association on the work group, helped launch the awareness campaign
promoting NDEP’s new MOVIMIENTO, Por Su Vida (Movement, For Life) music CD.
In November 2003, Dr. Torres participated in a radio media tour during which he interviewed
with 13 Hispanic radio stations. He spoke with a mix of nationally syndicated
and regional radio programs including Fuente de Salud, a national Hispanic radio
network with 150 members stations, La Placita Bilingüe of California, a
network with five
California stations, and Radio Unica that has 15 member stations. In February
2004, Dr. Torres was featured on a CNN en Español news segment highlighting
MOVIMIENTO and the importance for Hispanics to exercise as a means of preventing
and managing diabetes. The national radio media tour generated more than 3 million
listeners. The original music of MOVIMIENTO is copyright free. You can download
