Yoeny D. Calas-Dobson DVM to Receive the 2008 Utah Latino
Hero Award
The
Utah Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and Regence BlueCross
BlueShield of Utah will honor Dr. Yoeny Calas-Dobson of
RiverWoods Pet Hospital, Provo, UT at a reception in Salt
Lake City, September 18, 2008.
PROVO,
UT – September 11, 2008: The Regence BlueCross
BlueShield Latino Heroes Campaign has chosen Dr. Yoeny
Calas-Dobson DVM as their Utah Latino Hero for 2008 from the
many distinguished nominees as a result of her generous and
outstanding service to not only the Hispanic community but
to all of the residents of Utah.
The
Latino Heroes Award program was developed by the Regence
Group as a part of its ongoing commitment to the Latino
community. The campaign targets individuals who have
achieved great personal achievement educationally and
professionally, as well as economically. But in addition,
these individuals have engaged the Latino community through
dedicated service in maintaining cultural preservation,
economic growth and empowerment.
Each
chosen hero receives a $2,000 donation to be granted to a
non-profit organization of his or her choice to be given in
his or her honor. Dr. Dobson has chosen to donate her check
to the American Indian Services, a non-profit organization
that helps Native Americans improve their quality of life
through scholarships. In addition, all the heroes will be
highlighted in an extensive marketing campaign where their
photos and personal story will be shared in an editorial.
