coe-staff: Día de los Muertos Celebration of Life

[Lisa Fortin]

Submitted on behalf of OSJP and Dr. Ellen McWhirter in support of Latinx Heritage Month

Saludable Juntos Podemos (OSJP) team invites you to participate in a Día de los Muertos event.
Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is a traditional Mexican holiday in which families reflect upon, honor, connect with and celebrate loved ones who have died. It is a celebration of life, and a recognition of death as an integral part of life. We will have a table and art materials in the Hedco lobby from Monday Oct 25th to Nov 2nd for anyone who wishes to create something to commemorate and honor their loved ones.

The OSJP team has been working over the past year to provide COVID-19 testing around the state to Latinx Oregonians to help mitigate health disparities. This event is meant to celebrate the cultural heritage of Latinx Oregonians while also honoring those we have lost, together with the larger community.
