To kick off National Hispanic Heritage Month, we honor the resilience and strength of individuals like Diana Castillo. After moving from Mexico, Diana faced both a cancer diagnosis and pregnancy, alone in a new country. But with the support of her family at Mary’s Center, including Nurse Maggie, she found hope and strength to continue her journey. 💙 Diana’s story is a testament to the power of community, and the strength within the Hispanic heritage. Together, we thrive. #NationalHispanicHeritageMonth #NHHM2024
