Vaccines at Providence East |
|
Immensely grateful to the Hospitals of Providence East Campus staff for taking such wonderful care of our community and vaccinating over 1,000 seniors last week! My staff and I are so happy that we were able to help spread the word and register those most in need! |
|
"Caring for those who need us most is our passion. We feel fortunate to be able to continue vaccinating the vulnerable population of individuals 75 years and older in rural and underserved areas of town and being able to reach out to those individuals personally to ensure they are easily registered and scheduled for the vaccine. A special thank you to County Commissioner Iliana Holguin from Precinct 3 and her team for their public outreach efforts to ensure these vaccines went to those who needed it most."--Nicolas Tejeda, CEO, Hospitals of Providence

Ysleta del Sur Pueblo
Cultural Center
|
|
The Mission Valley is home to the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo, who settled in the region nearly 400 years ago. The Pueblo is alive with tradition and history as traditional dancing, bread-making and pottery-making are passed down from generation to generation. In February, Commissioner Holguin visited the home of Maré Silvas, who bakes traditional homemade bread outside in her orno (clay oven) every weekend. Maré learned how to make bread as a young girl from her mother, and has taught the younger generations in her family how to continue with the tradition. It was definitely a treat to take a bite out of the soft, warm, freshly-made bread on a chilly morning!

Visiting Pct. #3 Businesses
|
Commissioner Holguin loves traveling throughout the precinct and visiting with small business owners and learning about their goods and services. In February, Commissioner Holguin stopped by the Ysleta Mission gift shop and the Eagle’s Path to pick up pottery for her office in the County Courthouse. Soon after, Commissioner enjoyed delicious elote en vaso in Socorro at El Chido Swap Meet. Commissioner Holguin also met with our Fabens constituents and of course, had to pick up lunch at Pop's Burgers while she was there! Do you want Commissioner Holguin to stop by your place of business and say hello? Let us know by sending us a message on Facebook!
