No General Body Meeting in October

Second General Body Meeting

Special thanks to Pilsen-based psychiatrist Dr. Daniel Martinez for sharing his experience and words of wisdom at our second meeting!

Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration, an event to be remembered!

Thanks to all our supporters and friends, our first ever Hispanic Heritage Month event was a success! Our commonly practiced and recognized mission is to serve the medically underrepresented Latino community. However, we too are passionate about sharing and celebrating the Latino culture and were thrilled to have a night of music and art exhibition in recognition of the nationally honored Hispanic Heritage Month. We would like to send a special thanks to Merendero San Marcos Bar & Grill in Chicago, IL for catering and hosting the event.
