AMAT Celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month!
Hispanic Heritage Month is a time to honor the rich histories, cultures, and contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans, whose ancestors hail from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. Observed annually from September 15 to October 15, the month shines a spotlight on the significant impact Hispanic individuals have made across a wide range of fields, including science, education, the arts, healthcare, and more.
The celebration begins on September 15 to commemorate the independence anniversaries of several Latin American countries, including Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. Mexico and Chile also mark their independence shortly after, on September 16 and 18, respectively.
Hispanic Heritage Month provides a meaningful opportunity to recognize and celebrate the vibrant cultures and lasting contributions of Hispanic communities, while fostering a deeper appreciation for the diversity within the United States.
In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, the AMAT Latino Committee is proud to present a curated collection of stories that honor the remarkable contributions of Hispanic professionals in the transplant community. These stories highlight individuals who embody the theme “Pioneers of Change: Shaping the Future Together.” Their leadership and contributions have driven progress and transformation in our field. We invite you to explore these inspiring stories, celebrate their achievements, and join us in honoring their legacies throughout this month and beyond.
