NUEVA YORK, NY — 22 de julio de 2026 — (NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE) — Hispanic Information and Telecommunications Network (HITN Media), la principal cadena pública de televisión en español en los Estados Unidos, se honra en felicitar al National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts & Culture (NMPRAC) por obtener su acreditación de parte de la American Alliance of Museums (AAM), la máxima distinción que otorga esta organización a instituciones museísticas en Estados Unidos.

Con este reconocimiento, el NMPRAC pasa a formar parte de un selecto grupo de museos acreditados con un compromiso por la preservación, investigación y difusión del arte, la historia y la cultura hispana. Asimismo, se convierte en apenas el cuarto museo dedicado al arte latino, chicano o latinoamericano en el país en recibir esta acreditación, junto con el National Museum of Mexican Art de Chicago, el Museum of Latin American Art de Long Beach, California, y el Museo de las Américas de Denver.

«Esta acreditación representa un poderoso reconocimiento al compromiso del museo con la preservación del rico legado cultural de Puerto Rico para las futuras generaciones», afirmó Michael D. Nieves, presidente y director ejecutivo de HITN Media y miembro de la Junta Directiva del NMPRAC. «Es el resultado de décadas de visión, dedicación y arduo trabajo por parte del equipo del museo y de su liderazgo. También deseo reconocer a mis compañeros de la Junta Directiva —José E. López, Juan Calderón, Rebecca Medina, Elizabeth Colón, David Hernández, Elizabeth Aquino, Paul Roldán, Eddie Ortiz, Aida Maisonet Giachello y Jaime Moctezuma— por su inquebrantable compromiso con esta extraordinaria institución.»

El programa de acreditación de la American Alliance of Museums es considerado el máximo estándar de excelencia dentro del sector museístico estadounidense. Menos de 1,100 museos en todo el país cuentan con esta distinción, que reconoce los más altos niveles de desempeño en áreas como gobernanza, administración de colecciones, educación, sostenibilidad financiera y servicio público.

«Hemos trabajado para alcanzar este momento desde nuestra fundación, hace 26 años, con la convicción de que cada paso nos acercaría a este hito histórico», expresó Billy Ocasio, presidente y director ejecutivo del NMPRAC. «Esta acreditación pertenece a las generaciones de miembros de nuestra comunidad que creyeron que las historias de Puerto Rico merecían un hogar permanente a nivel nacional. Lo que comenzó como la determinación de una comunidad por preservar su espacio y contar su propia historia, hoy se ha convertido en una institución de alcance nacional donde nuestro arte, nuestra cultura y nuestra historia se conservan, se celebran y se transmiten a las futuras generaciones. Este logro no nos pertenece únicamente a nosotros, sino también a quienes vendrán después. Apenas estamos comenzando.»

HITN y el NMPRAC comparten desde hace años el compromiso de servir a las comunidades hispanas mediante iniciativas educativas y culturales que preservan el patrimonio, amplifican las voces latinas y amplían el acceso a contenidos de servicio público. La acreditación del museo representa un hito trascendental no solo para la institución, sino también para el esfuerzo continuo por reconocer y celebrar las aportaciones de los puertorriqueños y de otras comunidades hispanas al patrimonio cultural de Estados Unidos.

NEW YORK, NY – July 22, 2026 – (NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE) – Hispanic Information and Telecommunications Network (HITN), the nation’s leading Spanish-language public media network, proudly congratulates the National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts & Culture (NMPRAC) on earning accreditation from the American Alliance of Museums (AAM), the highest national recognition awarded to museums in the United States.

The distinction places NMPRAC among a select group of accredited institutions dedicated to preserving, studying, and promoting Hispanic arts, history, and culture. The museum is only the fourth Latino, Chicano, or Latin American art museum in the country to receive AAM accreditation, joining the National Museum of Mexican Art in Chicago, the Museum of Latin American Art in Long Beach, California, and Museo de las Américas in Denver.

«This accreditation is a powerful affirmation of the museum’s commitment to preserving Puerto Rico’s rich cultural heritage for future generations,» said Michael D. Nieves, President and CEO of HITN and a member of the NMPRAC Board of Directors. «It reflects decades of dedication, vision, and hard work by the museum’s staff and leadership. I also want to recognize my fellow members of the Board of Directors—José E. López, Juan Calderón, Rebecca Medina, Elizabeth Colón, David Hernández, Elizabeth Aquino, Paul Roldán, Eddie Ortiz, Aida Maisonet Giachello, and Jaime Moctezuma—for their unwavering commitment to this extraordinary institution.»

The American Alliance of Museums accreditation program is widely regarded as the museum field’s highest standard of excellence. Fewer than 1,100 museums nationwide have earned this distinction, demonstrating excellence in governance, collections stewardship, education, financial sustainability, and public service.

«We have worked for this moment since our inception 26 years ago, knowing that everything we did would hopefully lead to this historic milestone,» said Billy Ocasio, President and CEO of NMPRAC. «This accreditation belongs to the generations of community members who believed Puerto Rican stories deserved a permanent national home. What began as a community’s determination to hold space and tell its own story has grown into a national institution where our art, our culture, and our history are preserved, celebrated, and passed on. This belongs not only to us, but to future generations. We are only beginning.»

HITN and NMPRAC share a longstanding commitment to serving Hispanic communities through educational and cultural initiatives that preserve heritage, elevate Latino voices, and expand access to public service programming. The museum’s accreditation marks a significant milestone not only for the institution, but also for the broader effort to recognize and celebrate the contributions of Puerto Ricans and other Hispanic communities to the cultural fabric of the United States.

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.

ARLINGTON, TX — July 20, 2026 — (NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE) — Puerto Rico’s Day at the Ballpark continues its 2026 nationwide series on July 21 at Globe Life Field as the Chicago White Sox visit the Texas Rangers.

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.”
