From September 15 through October 15, we recognize National Hispanic Heritage Month and the many contributions of those whose ancestors came from Mexico, the Caribbean, Central and South America, and Spain.
As leaders, researchers, caregivers, educators, and community health advocates, our Hispanic and Latinx colleagues at Duke Health continue to drive innovation and change the narrative of the healthcare landscape as we know it. Through their rich contributions, we are able to provide more culturally competent patient care, inspire a new generation of health leaders, and embrace a more just environment for everyone to thrive. We are grateful for the compassionate care and commitment to our mission that our Hispanic and Latinx team members bring to work every day as we provide hope and healing to our community.
