With this year’s Hispanic Heritage Month highlighting the ways in which members of the Latino community contribute to driving prosperity, power, and progress in America, it is noteworthy that the Neighborhood Business Program has prioritized supporting businesses owned by people of color, immigrants, and women since its inception.
To take one example, Libreria Barco de Papel is a local Spanish-language bookstore situated at the heart of Elmhurst and Jackson Heights, Queens, two of New York City’s most diverse communities. Their Minority and Women-Owned business opened in 2003 with the goal of filling a literary and cultural gap in New York.
Support from CitizensNYC is making it possible for owner Paula Ortiz to expand their free cultural programs, including book presentations, children storytelling, discussions, open-mic nights, poetry workshops and literacy workshops. Paula shared that, “Ultimately, our goal is to promote the identity of the Latinx community through increased cultural and artistic activities, with emphasis on literature that embraces diversity and multiple forms of expression.”
Since 2021, Wells Fargo has donated $750,000 to CitizensNYC through the Neighborhood Business Grants program. From Lakou CafI, a Haitian cafI in Weeksville, Brooklyn that emphasizes support for local artists, to Bistro Casa Azul, a small family restaurant in East Harlem that hosts local community events and contributes to food drives, CitizensNYC is proud to partner with inspiring local business owners who do well by doing good.
“Helping small businesses persevere and navigate the ups and downs of entrepreneurship is a major focus for Wells Fargo,” said Krissy Moore, Senior Vice President – Community Relations Northeast Region at Wells Fargo. “That’s why partnering with organizations like CitizensNYC allows us to further our mission and help provide local minority and women-owned small businesses in NYC with the tools and resources they need to be successful. We are proud to support the continuation of the Neighborhood Business Grant program, which will further strengthen the small business sector across all five boroughs.”
“Not only do small businesses play a vital economic role in their neighborhood, they are also part of the fabric of their communities – serving as meeting places where community members make connections, sustain local culture, share values, and support local leaders,” said JosI Dobles, CitizensNYC’s VP of Programs. “We’re truly grateful to Wells Fargo for their continued partnership in funding the small businesses that are such an integral part of NYC.”
About CitizensNYC:
CitizensNYC’s mission is to help New Yorkers – especially those in low-income areas – improve the quality of life in their neighborhoods. In 2023, CitizensNYC awarded microgrants to 350 local community groups and small businesses across New York City. Since 1975, CitizensNYC has championed the ways in which local leadership, volunteerism, and equity can build stronger communities.

Women We Admire is pleased to announce The Top 50 Women Leaders in Medicine of 2023
NEW YORK, Sept. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Women We Admire is pleased to announce The Top 50 Women Leaders in Medicine of 2023. The number of women choosing medicine as a career continues to grow. Back in 1960, women represented a mere 6% of all U.S. physicians. However, in the present day, women now constitute over one-third of the physician workforce, and approximately 47% of residents and fellows, thanks to an increase in the acceptance of women into medical schools. Interestingly, as of 2019, the majority of U.S. medical students are women.
This shift in the medical landscape can be attributed to several factors. Firstly, women have historically been seen as leaders within households, and these leadership skills readily transfer to the medical realm. Furthermore, there is a growing recognition of the significance of diversity within the medical field, with research demonstrating that gender diversity among healthcare providers results in improved patient outcomes. For this year’s award, we have narrowed down some of the top women leaders in medicine, a list that is composed of physicians, doctors, clinicians and educators who are changing the face of medicine through their profession, teachings, and personal lives. We recognize and honor each awardee for their commitment to quality care and advancements within the field.
This year’s prestigious list features several notable honorees, including Connie Savor Price, who serves as the Chief Medical Officer at Denver Health. Price boasts an impressive track record of securing federal funding and has authored over 75 manuscripts and delivered more than 175 lectures on the prevention of healthcare-associated infectious diseases and related subjects. Another deserving recipient of recognition is Catherine Counard, who holds the position of State Medical Officer at the Illinois Department of Public Health, one of the state’s long-standing agencies with an annual budget of approximately $500 million. Lastly, we have Sara Fazio, an award-winning Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School.
Please join us in celebrating the accomplishments of The Top 50 Women Leaders in Medicine of 2023.
