福利视频 celebrates National Hispanic Heritage Month Sept. 15 through Oct. 15 as we spotlight our Hispanic employees and leaders that advance our steadfast commitment to further equity and inclusion in the workplace and communities where we live, work, and serve.

Nearly one-third of 福利视频鈥檚 members are from Hispanic and Latinx communities, representing more than eight million members. In addition, more than 16 percent of 福利视频 employees identify as Hispanic or Latinx. 福利视频 works with local organizations and providers to drive change and improve health outcomes for these communities who often lack access to culturally competent care. In addition, we advocate for our members to address racial and ethnic disparities in healthcare.
