Latino Fest 2025 was a joyful celebration of Latin American culture and community during Hispanic Heritage Month. Families, friends, and neighbors gathered at Peace Plaza to enjoy music, dance, food, and traditions that honor Latino heritage. Organized by the Alliance of Chicanos, Hispano, Latino Americans (ACHLA), the festival highlighted the importance of celebrating together—because our culture shines brightest when shared in community.

Last week, our Community Health Worker, Mayra, spent the evening at The Center Clinic sharing preparedness basics. The class, taught entirely in Spanish, gave participants tools to create an emergency plan, build an emergency supplies kit, stay informed with alerts, and strengthen their social networks to boost resilience.

We had a wonderful turnout!

While Mom was busy helping patients, the kids (Adelyn and Caleb) were lending a hand too!
Adelyn worked hard finishing and assembling the desk — and she is one of our superstar volunteers tonight. 💪💙
Teamwork makes our clinic stronger! Sara Oberhelman

“Fighting cancer, inspiring hope.”

“José’s victory reminds us: prevention and knowledge save lives.”

One of our clinic’s missions is to advocate for disease prevention and educate on how to prevent them.
Recently, we had the privilege of hearing the testimony of Franco, who has been courageously overcoming cancer and today shares his inspiring story with us.
His journey, along with the support of his family, reminds us of the importance of information and access to health resources.
We are deeply grateful to MNCCTN for making it possible for these programs to reach our community and contribute to a healthier future for all.

Skin Cancer Prevention:

A Conversation for Our Community
Thanks to the Masonic Cancer Center pilot program, and Pablo Monterroso (medical student UMN) we gather to talk about a topic that can save lives: preventing skin cancer.

💛 Protect yourself and your loved ones:
✨ Wear sunscreen every day (SPF 30 or higher)
✨ Seek shade during peak sunlight hours
✨ Wear a hat and UV-protection sunglasses
✨ Check your skin and don’t ignore changes.

With the MNCCTN pilot program, we work to ensure our community has access to life-saving information and tools.
