Last week the Latino Community Center was awarded the Rising Star Award by Highmark Bright Blue Futures ?? for our work with Community Health Workers (Promotoras). 250 nominations were received and the top 10 were selected for this honor. The award means so much because I see how dedicated and hard our team works each and every day… I read the testimonials that come through from families to them, I see the impact of how they are addressing isolation amongst new parents, and I see how our babies are getting the early intervention they need to support them in their life long journey. This moment helped raise awareness of the women doing the work and their fearless leader Vicky. Plus- it’s HIGHMARK! ?? Latino Community Center
