Maria Gomez, one of the 45 People who Shaped Washington DC

We encourage you to read the Washingtonian Magazine 45th anniversary issue this month. Maria Gomez, our President and CEO, was featured as one of the 45 individuals -and the only one in the healthcare arena- who shaped Washington, DC between 1965 - 2010. Mary's Center was also acknowledged for being a critical piece of the region's healthcare system (page 78). It is truly an honor to be part of this wonderful organization!

Noche Tropical, what a lovely evening!

Congressmember Xavier Becerra and his wife Dr. Carolina Reyes's laugh can give you an idea about how fun our annual gala Noche Tropical was.
It was a lovely evening and the best gala ever in our 22 years of existence.
We had more than 350 guests at the Organization of American States and we raised over $365,000 for our programs.
We can't thank enough the First Lady, Michelle Obama, for accepting our invitation to be our Honorary Chair. It gave so much credibility to our work and our event.
We were privileged to honor two members of the administration, Health Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and Juan Sepúlveda, as well as the World Bank Community Connections Fund.
Also, the presence of Congress members Chris Van Hollen, Xavier Becerra and Silvestre Reyes, Delegate Ana Sol Gutierrez, and so many sponsors, friends and supporters added that special touch to our event that made it so memorable.
Thank you all and we look forward to seeing you next year!
