Health Campaign Targets Latinos in Pennsylvania



by KYW's Karin Phillips

A multi-media campaign has been launched to address health concerns in latino communities in Pennsylvania.  

Dr. Raul Dela Cadena is a physician at Temple University Hospital and next month, he'll also be a TV star -- the featured doctor in four Spanish cooking shows in March on Telemundo called ''Cocinando con Sabor,'' talking about healthy food and fitness topics:

"There are really very simple steps, educational in nature, all of the benefits of fruits and vegetables. How can we change our habits?"

The campaign, "A Su Salud, To Your Health," was created by Congresso de Latinos Unidos and the Pennsylvania Medical Society in response to alarming health figures coming out of the Latino community. 

300,000 bilingual recipe and health information booklets have been distributed throughout eight Pennsylvania counties.
