At Eliot Community Human Services and MSPCC, we are proud to honor Hispanic Heritage Month by recognizing the incredible contributions of our Latinx colleagues who strengthen families and communities every day.

As part of our MSPCC Healthy Families Lowell program, these Home Visitors deliver evidence-based, curriculum-guided services that support first-time parents ages 23 and under. Intake can begin during pregnancy and continue until a child’s first birthday, with services lasting until the child turns three. Families receive prenatal and postpartum education, screenings for literacy, child development, depression, and home safety.

Our Home Visitors also provide essential supplies and resources — from safe sleep supports, tummy time mats, oral care kits, and household safety items to diapers, wipes, formula, and clothing. In addition, families are invited to social groups that build parent-child interaction and create an informal peer network, reducing isolation and strengthening community.

What makes this work especially powerful is that many of our Home Visitors reflect the culture and language of the families they serve, building strong bonds of trust. They also bring warmth and celebration into the workplace, often sharing Latino culture through potluck luncheons and teaching one another Spanish words and phrases.

In Lowell, our Healthy Families Home Visitors embody care, compassion, and cultural connection:

  • Wanda (Puerto Rico) uses her creativity to adapt curriculum and support babies’ development.

  • Sandra (Colombia) helps families create keepsakes and adds joy to our office with her generosity.

  • Carmen (Puerto Rico) works tirelessly to secure goods and resources for families.

  • Alba (Dominican Republic) empowers families to use their voice and build independence.

  • Danissha (Dominican Republic) serves with empathy and quickly became an essential team member.

  • Elen (Brazil) meets families where they are, guiding them to resources and breaking down barriers.

  • Alongside them, Hope (Cambodian, Spanish-speaking) helps ensure families have the resources they need.

Together, they represent how Eliot strengthens families through compassion, cultural understanding, and practical support.

This Hispanic Heritage Month, we celebrate their commitment and honor the lasting impact they have on parents, children, and communities across Lowell.
