Santa Fe Hispanic Chamber of Commerce- October 18 Business After Hours

Learn what Santa Fe has to offer to help you or your loved ones age gracefully and safely in our community. Join us at our October 18 Business After Hours, generously hosted by the St Vincent Hospital Foundation.

As always, our Business After Hours events are not only an educational opportunity. They allow you to connect with other business owners and organization leads in a relaxed networking environment. Plus, they’re a lot of fun! Refreshments will be served.

More about our host for this event, the St Vincent Hospital Foundation: It’s been more than 35 years since some very insightful people from the community founded the organization. Back then, the mission of the Foundation was to serve the hospital as an independent source of funding for capital projects and advanced training. That role hasn’t changed, although it has greatly expanded. CHRISTUS St. Vincent has expanded its services to meet the growing healthcare needs of this community, and the Foundation has increased its efforts to assist in providing those critical services. They still provide funding for capital projects and advanced training for nurses and medical technicians. Now they have increased their efforts to help the hospital meet its annual operating needs, to help indigent patients receive care and necessary medications, and to provide the community with programs ranging from bicycle safety to caregiver emergency training.

Don’t miss “Dolores” at the Center for Contemporary Arts

Peter Bratt’s documentary sheds light on New Mexico’s Dolores Huerta, the enigmatic, intensely private founder of the United Farmer Workers, and most important activists in American history still missing from the history books. With unprecedented access, Bratt portrays a heroic and very human woman, whose tireless commitment to the marginalized led her to confront Teamsters on a picket line, and face baton-wielding policemen. Her fearlessness and vision, in partnership with Cesar Chavez, made the world a safer place for workers, particularly Latinos. Showtimes here.
