Hughley, Doors guitarist Robbie Krieger and boxer Oscar De La Hoya on Oct. 4.”

Hispanic Heritage Month - Hispanic Health Campaign
We’re proud to be part of the Mediaplanet Hispanic Health campaign! Hispanics have long lacked access to quality healthcare in this country, and as a result suffer disproportionately from health complications like diabetes, heart disease, kidney failure, and more. This campaign advocates for improving that access to care, and empowering the Hispanic community to take charge of their health and well-being. Learn more by picking up a copy of the campaign in the LA Times or by clicking here to read the digital version online.
