In recognition of Hispanic Heritage Month, Rockland County honored three leaders for their outstanding contributions to the community throughout the
pandemic.
They include Rosario
Urena, who helped with distributions of needed supplies through her nonprofit; Dr. Richard Hernandez Peralta, who treated patients for free during the pandemic; and Miriam
Avila who helped connect families to much-needed resources during the
pandemic.
Hispanic Americans make up nearly 20% of the
population in Rockland County.
