Hispanic Federation discusses goals for 2026, latest maternal health initiatives

On this edition of Tiempo, we catch up with the Hispanic Federation about its goals for the new year and its latest initiatives to promote maternal health. The umbrella organization started in 1990 with a network of over 650 nonprofits. Its focus has always been to strengthen the Latino community through education, economic empowerment, immigration, health and much more. Speaking of health, the Hispanic Federation is encouraging women to sign up for free maternal health workshops and to showcase their plans for the new year. Joining us to discuss is Frankie Miranda, president of the Hispanic Federation, and Maria Lugo, senior director for health initiatives at the Hispanic Federation. Also on our program, we speak to Dominican novelist Cleyvis Natera about her book "The Grand Paloma Resort." The book combines face-paced suspense, class distinctions and colonial history in a breathless seven-day trip to La Republica Dominicana. The book is also dedicated to the workers and laborers who keep Caribbean tourism thriving. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
