United Hearts/ Corazónes Unidos

Celebrating Strength & Health

The words "Hispanic Heritage Month" are surrounded by a ring of flags from Hispanic/Latino countries.

This month, the American Heart Association honors the strength of Hispanic and Latino communities across the U.S. We celebrate the trusted frontline leaders—community health workers (promotores de salud) and nurses—who are transforming heart and brain health across communities. With corazones unidos, we can create healthier futures—together.
