Honoring Hispanic Heritage Month

Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated from September 15 to October 15. This month is dedicated to recognizing and honoring the histories, cultures, and contributions of Hispanic and Latino/a/e/x communities that continue to enrich our workplaces, our communities, and our world.

This year’s theme, Collective Heritage: Honoring the Past, Inspiring the Future, reminds us that together we carry forward traditions of resilience, creativity, and progress while building a future of belonging for all.

What is Hispanic Heritage Month?

Hispanic Heritage Month is a time to honor the histories, cultures, and contributions of Americans of Hispanic and Latino/a/e/x heritage.

The dates of Hispanic Heritage Month were chosen to coincide with the independence anniversaries of several Latin American countries, including Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Mexico, and Chile, which all gained independence from Spanish colonial rule during this period.

Why do we honor Hispanic Heritage Month?

We celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month as a time to honor the vibrant traditions, stories, and voices of Hispanic and Latino/a/x residents, families, team members, and partners who enrich our workplace and communities. In doing so, we reaffirm our commitment to fostering diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging across our senior living communities.
