NEW YORK, NY — July 20, 2026 — (NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE) — Once school starts, life moves fast. There is homework, practices, permission slips, and early mornings. Before the calendar fills up, take a moment to make sure your child has health coverage for the year ahead.

Free or low-cost health coverage is available through the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) or Medicaid in your state for eligible individuals. With health coverage, your kids and teens can get the care they need to stay healthy and do well in school.

Think your family might not qualify? You might be surprised. Many families may qualify for coverage without realizing it! Eligibility varies by state and is based on family income and household size. In most states, children up to age 19 from a family of four earning up to $80,000 per year may be eligible. In some states, eligible children can still qualify if family income is even higher.

Getting your child covered helps you get them the health care they may need. When a child is sick, the right medicines help them get back to school. If a child has a tough time focusing, there are supports to help. If your child does not see as well as other children, these programs cover glasses. Healthy kids are confident kids, who are ready to participate in every opportunity inside and outside the classroom!

Why Health Coverage Belongs on Your Kids’ Back-to-School List

Having health coverage can help families, like yours, to send your kids and teens off to school ready to learn. Depending on the program and a child’s individual needs, Medicaid and CHIP can provide eligible kids up to age 18 (Medicaid) or 19 (CHIP) with a range of services to support their health all year long, such as:

• Annual checkups and school physicals to prepare children to learn, play, and participate.
• Preventive care to identify health needs early and keep children healthy throughout the year.
• Dental care to help prevent tooth aches, cavities, and missed school days.
• Vision and hearing services to support learning and classroom participation.
• Mental health care to support emotional well-being and school success.
• Prescription medications and treatment to help manage symptoms and stay on track.
• Specialized services for children with disabilities to support growth and learning.

How to Apply

You can apply for Medicaid and CHIP in many ways:

• By phone
• By mail
• In-person through your state’s Medicaid or CHIP office
• Or find your state’s information online at InsureKidsNow.gov/coverage.

Act now to get your child covered before they need health care. Enrollment for these programs is open year-round, meaning families do not have to wait for a specific time of year to get covered.

Once enrolled, coverage must be renewed every twelve months, so it is important to keep your address, email, and phone number up to date with your state Medicaid or CHIP office to avoid missing important renewal information. Visit InsureKidsNow.gov or call 1-877-KIDS-NOW (1-877-543-7669) for more information.

SAN DIEGO, CA — July 15, 2026 — (NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE) — The San Diego La Raza Lawyers Association (SDLRLA) will honor two distinguished leaders in California’s legal community at its 17th Annual Judiciary Reception on July 30, 2026, recognizing their outstanding contributions to justice, public service, and community leadership.

The annual reception, one of the region’s premier gatherings of legal professionals, judges, law students, and community leaders, draws approximately 350 attendees each year. The event celebrates the judiciary’s contributions and reaffirms the legal community’s commitment to equality, diversity, and justice.

This year’s honorees are U.S. District Judge Ruth Bermudez Montenegro and Luis Céspedes, Judicial Appointments Secretary for Governor Gavin Newsom. Judge Bermudez Montenegro will be recognized for her distinguished service to the law, education, and the communities of Imperial and San Diego counties. Born and raised in California’s Imperial Valley, Judge Bermudez Montenegro is the daughter of Mexican immigrants Elvia Bermudez and the late Salvador Bermudez. Nominated by President Joseph R. Biden and confirmed by the United States Senate in 2022, she serves as a United States District Judge for the Southern District of California.

Before her appointment to the federal bench, Judge Bermudez Montenegro served as the sole United States Magistrate Judge in Imperial County, becoming the first woman to hold that position. She also served as a Superior Court Judge and Family Support Commissioner, earning broad recognition for her commitment to public service and access to justice.

Judge Bermudez Montenegro’s impact extends beyond the courtroom. She spearheaded the “El Centro Project,” which expanded federal criminal defense representation opportunities for attorneys in Imperial County and improved access to legal services for indigent defendants. She currently serves in several leadership roles within the federal judiciary, including Chair of the Ninth Circuit Criminal Law Committee and Chair of the Southern District of California’s Criminal Justice Act Committee.

“It is deeply meaningful to me to be recognized by SDLRLA, an organization that does so much to uplift and ensure that our legal community is strong, vibrant, and accessible to all,” said Judge Ruth Bermudez Montenegro.

SDLRLA will also present its inaugural Service to the Bench and Community Award to Luis Céspedes. Appointed in 2020 by Governor Gavin Newsom as Judicial Appointments Secretary, Céspedes has dedicated his career to public service and the legal profession. Raised in Santa Maria, California, he began advocating for farmworkers as a teenager before earning degrees from Occidental College and the University of California, Berkeley School of Law.

Céspedes’ career includes private practice, legislative service, judicial service as a pro tem judge, referee, and arbitrator, and leadership within California’s legal community. A co-founder of Sacramento’s Unity Bar Association, he has been recognized as a Distinguished Attorney of the Year and named among California’s Top 100 Lawyers.

His work has helped shape California’s judiciary and expand opportunities for underrepresented communities within the legal profession.

“The Judiciary Reception remains one of SDLRLA’s signature events, bringing together members of the state and federal bench, San Diego’s bar, and members of our broader community to celebrate leadership, service, and the pursuit of justice,” said SDLRLA President Hector Tamayo. “This year’s honorees exemplify the values of excellence, inclusion, and community engagement that San Diego La Raza Lawyers seeks to recognize.”

NEW YORK, NY — July 14, 2026 — (NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE) — As the FIFA World Cup 2026™ enters its final phase, HITN MEDIA, the nation’s leading Spanish-language public television network serving Hispanic audiences, is celebrating the successful transformation of its iconic Brooklyn Navy Yard rooftop into the New York broadcast headquarters for New World TV‘s summer soccer coverage.

PGS Group of France, a leading international media services company specializing in broadcast operations and content distribution, is managing the production, which has transformed HITN’s waterfront studios into a world-class international broadcast center delivering FIFA World Cup 2026™ coverage to more than 90 million viewers across Sub-Saharan Africa.

After evaluating multiple New York City locations, New World TV, a Pan-African broadcaster transmitting the tournament across the continent, selected HITN‘s 23,000-square-foot rooftop terrace for its unparalleled Manhattan skyline views and the technical infrastructure required to support a complex, large-scale live broadcast operation.

Over the past several weeks, approximately 40 international broadcast professionals have operated from Brooklyn, producing live programming from infrastructure that houses presentation studios, production offices, and a technical operation hub, supported by HITN Media’s state-of-the-art facilities providing connectivity, power distribution, technical production services, and transmission support.

Project management for HITN Media has been led by Juan Pablo Santos of Wood Creek Road Productions, coordinating the operational, production, vendor, and partner needs required to support the successful execution of the international broadcast hub.

«As the tournament reaches its conclusion, this project has demonstrated the extraordinary capabilities of HITN Media’s Brooklyn studios as a premier destination for international media production,» said Michael D. Nieves, President and CEO of HITN. «Our facilities combine a distinctive New York setting with the technology, connectivity, and operational expertise required by global broadcasters. We are proud of what our teams and partners have accomplished together, bringing New York’s energy and skyline to millions of viewers around the world during one of the most celebrated sporting events on the planet.»

The rooftop facility offers a unique combination of expansive outdoor production space, unobstructed skyline views, high-capacity fiber connectivity, technical support areas, offices, makeup and green rooms, secure access, and proximity to Manhattan.

«New York City is one of the world’s great stages, and for a tournament of this magnitude we wanted a location that reflected the energy, ambition, and global reach of our coverage,» said Aboubakar Coulibaly, CEO of New World Televisions Group. «HITN Media’s rooftop provided the ideal combination of visual impact and broadcast capabilities, allowing us to deliver a uniquely New York experience to audiences across Africa.»

«This project demonstrates what can be achieved when world-class facilities are combined with international broadcast expertise,» said Michaël Viviani, CEO of PGS Group. «Together with HITN Media and New World Sport, PGS designed, integrated, and delivered a complete international broadcast hub within just a few weeks, managing the technical architecture, production systems, transmission, distribution, staffing, and daily broadcast operations. The result has enabled live FIFA World Cup coverage across Sub-Saharan Africa while showcasing New York as a global broadcast destination.»

«PGS has delivered broadcast and media services worldwide, but few locations offer the combination of iconic visuals and operational readiness found at HITN Media’s Brooklyn campus,» said Michaël Viviani, CEO of PGS Group. «From our first visit, it was clear that HITN Media provided the ideal environment to establish a world-class production center on an accelerated timeline. The success of this operation has validated that decision.»

The successful execution of this international broadcast reinforces HITN Media’s Brooklyn Navy Yard campus as one of New York City’s premier destinations for live television, major sporting events, and large-scale international productions. The World Cup project showcases the campus’ ability to host complex global broadcasts on an accelerated timeline while serving audiences across multiple continents.

“Big cultural events like the FIFA World Cup 2026™ offer unparalleled opportunities for small businesses to gain widespread visibility and thrive. Verizon is proud to support these essential community anchors through Verizon Small Business Digital Ready, which provides free resources—including online courses, coaching, funding, and networking—to help entrepreneurs succeed. We are deeply honored to play a role in the journeys of the dynamic businesses that have made it to the Super Pitch finals,” said Donna Epps, Chief Responsible Business Officer for Verizon.

In the initial phase of the competition, business owners posted videos to social media highlighting how they had used the resources on Verizon Small Business Digital Ready to learn how to more effectively pitch their business. Of those, 20 were selected to compete in the semifinal events in FIFA World Cup 2026™ host cities. Now, the final four will deliver a pitch to a panel of expert judges, including two-time FIFA Women’s World Cup™ champion Carli Lloyd, for a chance to win cash prizes. All four finalists will receive two tickets to the FIFA World Cup 2026™ Final.

“Succeeding as a small business is like soccer. It takes daily hard work and the right coaching. I’m proud to see a company like Verizon champion small businesses by providing year-round access to its Digital Ready platform,” said Lloyd. “Whether it is a youth soccer clinic, or the local coffee shop, it’s the small businesses that keep our communities running. And through this experience with Verizon, it’s been a joy to meet some of these amazing entrepreneurs.”

In addition to the cash prizes and tickets, all finalists will receive expert mentorship in using artificial intelligence in their business as Verizon works to position small businesses to succeed in today’s rapidly evolving digital world.

Creating a homefield advantage

Verizon’s investment in small business community development extends beyond the competition and prizes. Verizon Small Business Digital Ready is a free resource available to all small businesses in the U.S. regardless of whether they are Verizon customers. The program has already helped over 600,000 business owners since its launch in 2020, with a goal to support 1 million small businesses by 2030.

All participants in the Super Pitch have received expert guidance on how to pitch their businesses from Precious Williams, Founder and CEO of the Perfect Pitch Group, successful “Shark Tank” participant, and Verizon Small Business Digital Ready instructor. Williams has also hosted versions of her Digital Ready pitch workshops for local small businesses at each of the semifinal events.
