DESCRIPTION:Salud! ― a new feature documentary by Academy Award nominee Connie Field 
 ― explores the curious case of Cuba, a cash-strapped country with what 
 the BBC calls 'one of the world's best health systems.' And for 40 years, 
 Cuba's taken it to the road, their doctors in demand by other struggling 
 nations. Cuba's volunteer corps now posts 28,000 health professionals in 68 
 countries. Cuban medical schools enroll 30,000 students from other 
 developing areas, an unprecedented undertaking for any country. The film 
 probes the motivations of international students at Havana's Latin American 
 School of Medicine (ELAM) where a bold paradigm shift is producing doctors 
 committed to public service. Through these stories and testimony from 
 experts around the world, ¡Salud! traces the opinions and competing 
 agendas that mark the battle for better global health.\n	Dr. Kay Taylor, a 
 Bay Area gynecologist, will introduce the program. Dr. Taylor retired from 
 Kaiser in 2005 to organize a volunteer medical service called Prevention 
 International: No Cervical Cancer (PINCC), which provides mobile one-visit 
 care to women in need. Dr. Taylor has worked in Central America with 
 graduates of the Cuban Medical School; and PINCC’s team visited Cuba at 
 ELAM’s invitation in November 2006, toured their medical facilities and 
 discussed future opportunities to work with their graduate doctors. \n	The 
 film will be shown at The Redwoods Presbyterian Church, 110 Magnolia 
 Avenue, Larkspur, at 7:30 PM on Thursday, March 22. This event is sponsored 
 by Marin Interfaith Task Force on the Americas and is a fundraiser to 
 support PINCC's ongoing work. A $5-15 donation is requested. No one will be 
 turned away for lack of funds. The venue is wheelchair accessible. For more 
 information, please call 415/924-3227, email mitf@igc.org or go to
