Welcome to Hally Healthcast, the wellness podcast from Hally® health – your partner in helping you live your healthiest life.
Today’s episode is all about awareness of Hispanic heritage and culture. National Hispanic Heritage Month begins in September, so it’s the perfect time to learn more about this important topic. Let’s begin with some awareness about the month itself. Did you know that unlike most monthly observances in this country, National Hispanic Heritage Month begins at midmonth and ends at midmonth, as it is celebrated every year from September 15th to October 15th? The reason is because September 15th is the anniversary of independence for Latin American countries Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua, while Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence days on September 16th and September 18th, respectively. Columbus Day, which celebrates the anniversary of Christopher Columbus’ arrival in the Americas, at Guanahani, an island in the Bahamas, on October 12th, also falls within this 30-day period.
All right, now for some personal perspective on National Hispanic Heritage Month, here with us is Jessica Arroyo. She’s a bilingual Medicare sales associate for Health Alliance. Welcome, Ms. Arroyo, and thank you so much for being with us today and sharing your knowledge, perceptions and experience.
