MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN
 
Rene U. Pulido MD
Hello Everyone,

I hope you're well. I wanted to take a moment and let everyone know how much I appreciate being on this amazing journey with all of these unbelievable Hispanic families. 

We just celebrated the 25th year anniversary of the FCHCC! It was an awesome event and thank you to everyone who attended. As you all know, the FCHCC has helped countless people over the years including my parents who where struggling immigrants that worked day and night to keep their kids safe and in good schools. 

Sometimes with all the hustle and bustle, we don't take the time to appreciate the lives that have been helped by the guidance and networking provided by this special organization. This month, our numbers have grown to 100 and are continuing to grow quickly. Please take the time to pat yourselves on the back for being a part of this movement and once you make it big, please remember to help the people who are also working hard to get there. Thank you for your time.


Rene U. Pulido MD
