Hispanic Heritage Month is a special time of year for me because it is an opportunity to celebrate where we come from, the traditions that unite us, and the contributions that generations of Hispanic Americans have made to this country. At Goya Foods, our heritage is at the heart of who we are. Founded 90 years ago by Spanish immigrants, Goya has grown from a small family business into the largest Hispanic-owned food company in the United States, while remaining deeply connected to the families and communities we serve.  For me, recognizing Hispanic Heritage Month goes beyond celebrating our food, music,

Hispanic Heritage Month is important to me because it gives me the opportunity to celebrate my culture, my roots, and the values that have shaped who I am. It is a time to recognize the contributions of Hispanic communities while also reflecting on the experiences, traditions, and sense of family that have guided me throughout my life. I moved to Rochester, NY more than 32 years ago, and since that time, helping people in my community has been an important part of my life and work. I have always believed that serving others is one of the most meaningful ways to

As someone who immigrated from China to the United States as a teenager, Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) heritage means resilience, adaptability, and the experience of growing up between two cultures. Learning a new language, navigating different expectations, and helping my family adjust shaped my perspective early on and taught me the value of empathy, patience, and hard work. My background has strongly influenced how I approach my work at Fidelis Care. Having seen firsthand the challenges faced by immigrant families, I'm especially mindful of the importance of clear communication, cultural sensitivity, and trust.

During Minority Health Month in April, we highlight the importance of reducing health disparities through education, prevention, and access to care. Across New York City and much of the country, communities of color typically see higher rates of preventable illness and disease-related death. When serious conditions like cancer are caught early, treatment can begin more quickly and outcomes are often better. Community Care of Brooklyn IPA (CCB IPA) is an integrated network of health and social services organizations in Brooklyn. We work alongside Fidelis Care to support Medicaid and Essential Plan members in getting quality care they can trust. Since 2018,

Each April, Black Maternal Health Week calls national attention to one of the most persistent public health inequities in the United States. Black women remain three to four times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white women, regardless of income or education. A significant portion of these deaths happen weeks or even months after childbirth, highlighting longstanding gaps in postpartum care and the broader social conditions that shape maternal health outcomes. In response to these realities, Divine Harlem, a community-rooted maternal health initiative based in Harlem and working across New York City, has developed a framework we describe as

Each April, Arab American Heritage Month is a meaningful time for me to reflect on my roots in Morocco, my journey, and the values that shape both my personal and professional life. As someone with proud Arab roots, I carry with me a deep appreciation for family, resilience, hospitality, and hard work. These values guide me every day. Growing up connected to my Arab heritage taught me the importance of community. In our culture, relationships matter. We check on one another, we support one another, and we show up when it counts. That sense of responsibility toward others has had a

March is Women’s History Month, a time to celebrate women who have made a big difference in our world. In healthcare, many women have broken barriers and helped improve the way we care for people. Their hard work and ideas changed medicine and saved lives.   Florence Nightingale is known as the founder of modern nursing. During the Crimean War, she worked to make hospitals cleaner and safer. Her efforts lowered death rates and showed how important hygiene is in healthcare. Later, she started a nursing school and set standards that nurses still follow today.   Elizabeth Blackwell was the first woman in the
