¡Bienvenidos al mes de la herencia hispana! Welcome to Hispanic Heritage Month!

The Johns Hopkins Medicine community is proud to join in the celebration from Sept. 15 through Oct. 15 to honor and recognize our Hispanic/Latino faculty and staff members, students and trainees, patients and community partners.

What started as a weeklong acknowledgement in 1968 is now a month of events honoring our Hispanic/Latino colleagues whose history and culture is
rooted in one of 21 countries and areas including the United States, Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. 

Talent Aquisition at Johns Hopkins Health System celebrates and honors it's current employees and we hope to inspire more members of the community to join us on their career path.
