“Visitadores a domicilio de UPO ganan premio de logros en salud de DC” El equipo de Visitadores a domicilio de UPO ganó el Premio SOMOS DC de Salud por ayudar a las familias a prosperar. La alcaldesa Muriel Bowser y la Oficina de la Alcaldesa para Asuntos Latinos (MOLA) otorgaron el premio a UPO porque el programa de Visitas a domicilio fortalece a las familias, brinda remisiones médicas a las familias y promueve el desarrollo saludable de los niños. El programa forma parte de la Oficina de Aprendizaje Temprano de UPO, el proveedor más grande de Early Head Start en DC. Los visitadores a domicilio llevan recursos de educación para la primera infancia, orientación y apoyo personalizado directamente a los hogares de las familias de DC. El personal de UPO ayuda a las familias a construir una base sólida durante los primeros años críticos de los niños. “Este premio reconoce la dedicación y el corazón que nuestros visitadores a domicilio de UPO aportan cada día,” dijo Yanet Hernández, gerente del Programa Basado en el Hogar de UPO. “Construyen relaciones de confianza, apoyan a los padres en desafíos y ayudan a las familias a reconocer sus fortalezas a medida que sus hijos aprenden y crecen. Estoy muy orgullosa de nuestro equipo y agradecida de ver que se reconoce el valor de su trabajo.” UPO agradece al director de MOLA, Eduardo Perdomo, y a su equipo por su colaboración y apoyo a largo plazo. La ceremonia de premiación formó parte del 50.º aniversario de la Oficina del Alcalde para Asuntos Latinos, una gloriosa celebración de historia y cultura durante el Mes Nacional de la Herencia Hispana. #IamUPO #UPOinDC #OLADC by @upoindc

“UPO Home Visitors Honored with DC Award for Health” UPO’s team of Home Visitors won the SOMOS DC Award for Health for helping families to thrive. Mayor Muriel Bowser and The Mayor’s Office on Latino Affairs (MOLA) gave the award to UPO because the Home Visiting program strengthens families, gives family health referrals, and promotes healthy child development. The program is part of UPO’s Office of Early Learning, DC’s largest Early Head Start provider. Home Visitors bring early childhood education resources, guidance, and personalized support directly into the homes of DC families. The UPO staff help families to build a strong foundation during children’s critical early years. “This award recognizes the dedication and heart our UPO home visitors bring every day,” said Yanet Hernandez, UPO’s Home-Based Program Manager. “They build trusting relationships, support parents through challenges, and help families recognize their strengths as their children learn and grow. I am so proud of our team and grateful to see the value of their work honored.” UPO thanks MOLA Director Eduardo Perdomo and his team for their long-term collaboration and support. The award ceremony was part of the 50th Anniversary of The Mayor's Office on Latino Affairs, a glorious celebration of history and culture during National Hispanic Heritage Month. #IamUPO #UPOinDC #OLADC by @upoindc
