Meet Lily Baldwin-Garduño, our 2009 Latino Hero Award recipient
Asuris Northwest Health recently awarded Spokane clinical psychologist Lily Baldwin-Garduño its 2009 Latino Hero Award. The award is part of our ongoing commitment to the Latino community, honoring individuals of Latino descent who have given back to the community and have impressive professional or educational accomplishments.
"Lily Baldwin-Garduño has truly become a champion for Spokane's Latino community," said Francisco Garbayo, manager of Emerging Markets. "Her commitment to breaking down the linguistic and cultural barriers facing newcomers to the community embodies the spirit of Asuris' Latino Hero Award."
Baldwin-Garduño is a clinical psychologist at the Children's Home Society of Washington, where she focuses on helping children and families who have recently immigrated to the Spokane area access the support and resources they need. She is also the current president of the Hispanic Business and Professional Association of Spokane.
"The Asuris Latino Hero Award was created to honor Latinos making significant contributions to the community, and it is part of Asuris' larger Latino outreach program focusing on health education," continued Garbayo. "At Asuris we understand and honor the changing face of our communities."
As the recipient of the Hero Award, Lily Baldwin-Garduño will receive $2,000, which she plans to donate to the B.E.S.T. Program, a hospital-based behavioral treatment program for children ages 5-12.
