Do you know a middle or high school student whose academic talents or interests lean toward a career in medicine?  If so, then encourage them to come to the Rx for Succes: Dare to Be a Doctor conference.

Taking place on October 18 at the County Center, the conference will introduce students to how they can pursue a fulfilling career in the medical field. They'll be inspired by the three key-note speakers -- three African-Americans who left the city streets, followed their dreams and became nationally renowned doctors known as "The Three Doctors."

Westchester has seen extremely rapid growth within the Hispanic and Latino community over the past 20 years — and the need to reach out has never been greater. Today, one of every six people in Westchester County is of Hispanic or Latino origin. The growing numbers show us the importance of recognizing our wonderful diversity and doing everything we can to make our Hispanic and Latino residents feel welcome.

The Office for Hispanic Affairs is ready to help its residents of Hispanic and Latino origin integrate into the larger community. Recognizing that language and cultural barriers often prevent individuals from getting what they need, the office aims to develop, promote and increase service and assistance programs. Director Martha Lopez-Hanratty serves as a liaison and is available to answer any questions.
