CEO Tinisha Hunt welcomes Secretary Becerra to our
Senior Center at the Thelma Lovette YMCA.
Secretary Xavier Becerra visited our Senior Center on February 14th for a round table discussion as part of his visit to the Pittsburgh region. Secretary Becerra is the 25th Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services and the first Latino to hold the office in the history of the United States. Born in Sacramento, Secretary Becerra is the son of working-class parents. He was the first in his family to receive a four-year degree, and he later earned his JD from Stanford Law School. His mother was born in Mexico and immigrated to the United States after marrying his father, a day laborer turned construction worker. Secretary Becerra has committed his life to public service, and he has been a champion of the Affordable Care Act, Medicare, and Medicaid programs.
Joining the Secretary was Dr. Ala Stanford, Regional Director of Department of Health and Human Services, Representative Summer Lee, County Executive Rich Fitzgerald, Erin Dalton (Director of Allegheny County DHS), and staff from local senior serving organizations.
Macedonia FACE is proud of the positive reputation of our Senior Center making it a sought-after location for visits of this magnitude and providing an opportunity for FACE to be a part of conversations that bring light to important issues facing our community.
