COMHAR is Commemorating and Celebrating Black History Month February 1 – 28, 2023

When it comes to pioneers in African American history, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, Maya Angelou, James Baldwin, and Muhammad Ali are often mentioned—and rightfully so. We know that individual differences enrich our lives with diversity, new ideas, and new perspectives.

COMHAR wants to recognize team members and COMHAR members who are people of color who contribute every day to the success of COMHAR.

The Three Kings Arrive at the Latino Treatment Program

The Three Kings Arrive at the Latino Treatment Program

Much to the joy of the children at the Latino Treatment Program (LTP), the Three Kings arrived on Friday, January 6th, to help them celebrate Three Kings Day. The children and their families enjoyed pizza, pretzels, popcorn, and soda, all of which was donated by pharmaceutical companies, including Vanda Pharmaceuticals, Takeda Pharmaceuticals, Teva Pharmaceuticals, and Vraylar Pharmaceuticals.

After enjoying games led by Gustavo Miguel-Castro, LTP Program Director, the Three Kings arrived for pictures and to distribute gifts donated by Toys for Tots, COMHAR team members, and COMHAR Board Members.

THANK YOU to all of the donors and the LTP Team for such a successful day that the children thoroughly enjoyed!
