President's Message
Buenos dias amigos,
I hope you are all having a great summer as you prepare the kids to go back to school. We are still so very excited from the recent FCHCC Excellence in Business Awards. The event was a tremendous success and one that has set the bar high for future awards. Many thanks to our sponsors, attendees and nominees who made it possible. We have already started preparing for next year to make it even better!
We hope to see you at our August Business Luncheon on August 25th. There will be a panel of experts to discuss the fiscal crisis in Puerto Rico. Come learn about this important issue and how it is impacting us here locally.
If you have not renewed your FCHCC membership or want to join, click here for more information.
Warmest regards,
Maribel Hernandez
Maribel Hernandez, MBA, ACB, ALB

La Guía is a joint project brought by the voluntary efforts of the Hispanic Health Council of Jacksonville and the Mayor's Hispanic American Advisory Board (MHAAB).
The purpose of La Guía is to connect the Hispanic community with various available resources. The goal is to overcome some of the barriers identified. Many of the services included in La Guía are available in Spanish, unless otherwise noted.
