?? #WomenLeadWednesday Honoring María Cano Martínez: A Pioneer for the Latino Community Born in 1925 in Guanajuato, Mexico, María Cano Martínez overcame immense challenges as the daughter of migrant workers. From working as a medical secretary to becoming the first full-time interpreter at the University of Iowa Hospitals, María’s dedication to serving her community was unmatched. Her passion for helping Spanish-speaking patients led her to found the hospital’s Interpreter Services program in 1975, a service that continues to help thousands today. María’s advocacy for the Latino community—both inside and outside the hospital—was driven by her own life experiences. She truly understood the struggles of the people she served. María’s legacy lives on, as the program she started now provides services in over 30 languages. Join us at the #GLOWConference2025 to celebrate leaders like María and continue empowering minority women in our communities. #LatinoLeadership #WomenInAction #HealthcareEquity #CommunityAdvocacy #MaríaCanoMartínez #InterpreterServices #WeGLOW This series is inspired by the research of Janet Weaver, PhD, Curator of the Iowa Women's Archives, University of Iowa Libraries, highlighting the incredible women who have shaped our local history.
