In his most recent book, “The Checklist”, Dr. Manny explains the most complicated medical terminology with the same simplicity and direct style of an experienced television correspondent. “I am extremely pleased to join the family of Mega TV. I am a Latin American and I can identify with the various health issues that our population faces on an everyday level”, said Dr. Manny. “In the same style that I used in my latest book, I am planning to address everything that Hispanic families need to know about preventive medicine in order to live a long and healthy life…”thinking of you always” is the slogan of my Mega News segment and there is nothing more important to me than knowing my Latin American brothers and sisters are taking care of their health”.

Mildred Espinoza-Salgado, Executive Producer of Dr. Manny commented, “Our commitment is real and that is why we will work effectively with Mega TV to offer the most relevant and timely topics specifically related to the Hispanic community”.
