Maria Parham feels that serving the Hispanic community is not only important, but also our obligation,

Prejudice is not so much dependent upon natural antipathy as upon education.

In our cause, mere words are nothing -- action is everything.

A man is sometimes lost in the dust of his own raising.

Ashley is a truly amazing young person who possesses profound intelligence, sharp wit and a great sense of community obligation.

We have an obligation to the employees who chose to work, to our patients and to this community to do everything within reason to bring these disruptive and unnecessarily lengthy negotiations to a close. We cannot continue to endure the threat of continued short-term strikes to suit the union's agenda. It is our hope that this decision will cause SEIU to take action in the best interest of the majority of its membership and resolve this contract once and for all.
