Rosie Perez to speak on AIDS on Beach

Miami Herald - July 30, 2007

The National Conference on Latinos and AIDS kicked off Monday morning on Miami Beach. Hundreds of the nation's medical care providers gathered in South Florida this week to discuss ways to help stop the spread of HIV/AIDS; the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has described the virus as a growing health crisis in America's Latino community.

The purpose of the conference is to reinvigorate the national dialogue on the epidemic within the Latino community. The conference features a keynote speech by actress and longtime AIDS activist Rosie Perez.

She speaks at 10:30 a.m. and will hold a news conference in the Regency Ballroom of the Miami Beach Resort and Spa, 4833 Collins Ave., Miami Beach.
