Planned Parenthood of Northern, Central, and Southern New Jersey is proud to celebrate Latinx Heritage Month. Latinx Heritage Month is celebrated September 15 – October 15 and honors the histories, cultures, and contributions of Latinx communities in the United States.
We’re taking this month as an opportunity to recommit ourselves to serving our Latinx patients, staff, volunteers, and supporters as we work to improve sexual and reproductive health among Latinx communities.
We’re inspired by all the leadership, innovative work, and commitment of the Latinx community to create a world where access to health care doesn’t depend on who you are or where you live.
Right here in New Jersey, we have many organizations centered around supporting the Latinx community and providing health care, advocacy services, and empowerment programs. We’re proud to serve the Latinx community within and beyond New Jersey and celebrate the meaningful and essential work of our partners and other organizations.
We’ve highlighted a few organizations below for your reference — check them out!
