As of July, 100% of Cesar Chavez Foundation employees have complied with our Covid-19 vaccination policy. Not only are we encouraging the communities in which we serve to stand up in the fight against Covid-19, our staff across Arizona, California, New Mexico, and Texas have also made significant strides in helping to protect our workforce.

Our organization is fully committed to the country’s vaccine efforts by working on multiple fronts to educate our staff and the communities we serve about the importance of getting vaccinated.

Join us in recognizing our brilliant employees committed to preserving Cesar's legacy of inspiring and transforming communities. For
this month's , meet Elizabeth Miranda, Regional Program Coordinator for Senior Communities and Learning Centers in Arizona.

Elizabeth has worked for the Cesar Chavez Foundation for 8 years. The work she does at Cesar Chavez Foundation encourages her to Inspire and Transform Communities through making a difference in people's lives with disabilities, health issues, and language barriers.

When asked how have you helped your residents with the services you offer?
"A senior resident from Paseo Abeytia, Dimas Martinez, was intubated in the intensive care unit with a poor prognosis. His niece contacted me urgently looking for help since the hospital didn't give Dimas much hope to live. I immediately contacted the Mexican Consulate and helped the family apply for a humanitarian petition for the USCIS crossing border. The petition was approved, and Dimas' children were granted a two-week permit to visit their father in the hospital."

Today, Dimas is doing much better and is currently in a rehabilitation home. I'm happy that I could help the senior resident bring his loved ones from Mexico. He was delighted to see them, which gave him hope to continue living and fight for his life."

Cesar Chavez Foundation staff and residents of our senior affordable housing communities are doing their part in helping fight the spread of COVID-19.

“I am glad I did my part and took the vaccination. I hope all the Senior citizens do the same to stop the spread of COVID-19. Thank you for all your support and for bringing the vaccine to our community center.”
