Chicanos Por La Causa will present Dr. Cecilia Rosales with its inaugural Legacy for Change Award for her lifelong efforts in public health, education, and activism.
Rosales played a key role implementing multiple initiatives that increased access to essential health services among underserved population including a border vaccination program, a mobile health unit, and serving on the U.S.-Mexico Border Health Commission.
“As a mentor and visionary leader, Dr. Cecilia Rosales’ work transcends borders to drive positive change in creating healthier, stronger communities at the local, statewide, national, and international level,” said Alicia Nuñez, CPLC President and CEO.
Rosales previously was awarded with CPLC’s Cause for Change Award in 2016 for her commitment to ensuring underserved families throughout Southern Arizona receive excellent health care. She served on the CPLC board through her retirement in 2024, following 18 years as a professor and researcher at the University of Arizona.
Chicanos Por La Causa was formed in 1969 to fight discrimination against the Mexican American community. It has evolved to become one of the largest Latino nonprofits providing services to people of all backgrounds in six states. In the past year, CPLC impacted more than 1 million lives through more than 30 programs in health and human services, housing, education, economic development, and advocacy.
