As a primary care physician and sister to a breast cancer survivor, I’ve witnessed both the clinical and emotional journey of breast cancer. At Libélula, we approach Breast Cancer Awareness Month not just with ribbons—but with action. We center prevention through lifestyle support, offer personalized screening based on the latest guidelines, and walk alongside patients through treatment and survivorship. Every story matters.

On the final day of Hispanic Heritage Month, I had the honor of attending the rebranding launch of the Idaho Commission on Hispanic Affairs (ICHA)—a vibrant celebration of our culture, resilience, and future. Governor Brad Little officially declared September 15 to October 15 as Hispanic Heritage Month in Idaho, saying it was “just in the nick of time.” That moment felt like a warm embrace of our community’s contributions.
