Click for Detail, along with Hector V. Barreto, Chairman of The
Latino Coalition and former Administrator of the U.S. Small Business
Administration, introduced Kodak
as a new sponsor of The Latino Coalition (TLC)
at its annual Economic Summit for Hispanic entrepreneurs that was held May 4-5 at
the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Washington, D.C. In introducing Flavio Luiz Gomes,
General Manager and Vice President, Latin America, and Inkjet Systems, Americas
at Eastman Kodak Company, Lorsch stated that Kodak and MMR will work together to
introduce MMRPro, which includes Kodak's document imaging solutions, to physician
groups and hospitals serving the Latino community
. Also attending from Kodak was
Brian K. Bagan, Director, Business Development, United States and Canada,
Document Imaging, Kodak's Business Solutions and Services Group. MMR has been
supporting The Latino Coalition for three years and in addition to Kodak shared
sponsorship at this year's event with American Airlines, AT&T, HP, Intuit,
MasterCard, Pfizer, Verizon and others to support Latino entrepreneurs seeking
expanded business opportunities through contracts with the Federal Government and
Fortune 500 companies.

Among the elected officials and political dignitaries who participated alongside
national business leaders at the two-day Summit were Newt Gingrich, former
Speaker of the House of Representatives, and Karen Mills, Administrator of the
U.S. Small Business Administration; Senator John Cornyn (R-Texas), Senator Robert
Menendez
(D-New Jersey), and Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska); and Congress
members Eric Cantor (R-Virginia), Mike Pence (R-Indiana), Pete Sessions
(R-Texas), and Xavier Becerra (D-California). In remarks at a general session on
Corporate Governance, Hector Barreto reminded the audience that the Latino
community represents an estimated 50 million consumers with as much as one
trillion dollars
in annual purchasing power.

Newt Gingrich, who founded the Center for Health Transformation after serving as
House Speaker, keynoted the opening session. Immediately prior to the session,
Hector Barreto, who is also a member of the Board of Directors of MMR, and Bob
Lorsch spent time with Gingrich updating him on the progress of MMR since he was
last introduced to it two years ago. As a recognized expert in healthcare,
Gingrich is interested in seeing that all Americans have access to relevant and
valuable tools such as a personal health record to improve care and lower costs.

According to Lorsch, "The Company looks forward to working with Mr. Gingrich,
Coalition Sponsors, and the House and Senate leaders who attended the Summit by
demonstrating the ways MMR's products and services can empower patients to better
manage their health, resulting in greater cost efficiencies and better outcomes."


"As a result of our relationship with MyMedicalRecords, we have the good fortune
of welcoming Kodak as a Latino Coalition sponsor," said Barreto. "Kodak has
created innovative document imaging solutions that along with MMR can help
transform healthcare with secure, easy-to-use and bilingual professional and
personal health record products for physicians and patients across the country."

Barreto, who is also Chairman of the Board of Trustees of AltaMed, a Federally
Qualified Community Health Center which has been granted stimulus funds under
HITECH by the Department of Health and Human Services, continued
, "I would
encourage physician groups and healthcare facilities that serve the Latino
community, such as AltaMed, to utilize personal health record services to reduce
costs and provide a more efficient standard of care."

"MMR's easy-to-use and ready-to-use healthcare products give Latino entrepreneurs
a valuable tool for both motivating and enabling their employees to live
healthier lives and therefore better control healthcare costs," added Lorsch. "We
look forward to working further with The Latino Coalition to provide MMRPro to
healthcare facilities and the MyMedicalRecords PHR to employers as a benefit for
their employees."
