Healthbeat by Deirdre Cox Baker

A doctor with musical talent was the winner of a recent nation-wide contest announced to publicize the H1N1 flu, now a pandemic.

Kathleen Sebelius, secretary of Health and Human Services, set up the contest on July 9. Americans were asked to create the video to promote good hygienic practices to prevent the spread of H1N1.

The winner was Dr. John Clarke of Baldwin, New York. He’s won $2,500 cash, the video is up on YouTube, will be broadcast on national television, and you can find it here.  It’s got the title of “H1N1 Rap by Dr. Clarke.”

Runner-up videos are also on the site, and there were about 200 entries overall.

Note: My computer acted up, so when I first looked at this video, it paused 10 times in 17 seconds. The video ran smoothly the second time I tried it.
