A MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD PRESIDENT
Welcome and thank you for joining us for an evening of
gratitude and celebration!
Tonight we applaud the accomplishments of our four
exceptional Honorees and celebrate 42 years of exemplary
community service by the Hispanic Counseling Center.
It has been my pleasure to serve as the Gala Chair for
the past six years. My involvement as a volunteer and
Board Member and recently elected Board President for
the Hispanic Counseling Center is an honor and a most
rewarding experience. I am humbled to volunteer for
this extraordinary organization which provides such
needed and vital services to the Long Island community.
I hold the highest regard for CEO Gladys Serrano and the entire HCC staff, all of whom work
on a daily basis to make miracles, big and small, happen at this wonderful agency for the
community that we serve.
You may not be aware, but the Annual Gala is the agency’s principal fundraising event of the
year. Your attendance and support are greatly appreciated and help the HCC continue to
provide programs such as the After School Program and the Teen Center that the community
so desperately needs. Tonight we want to recognize and celebrate all of the people who make
HCC special, its generous supporters, its special staff members, volunteers; and with special
recognition to CEO Gladys Serrano.
I would like to thank the Gala Committee for their tireless support and commitment to this
event. Their willingness and responsiveness to support the Gala is remarkable, and most
appreciated, and has made my job as Gala Chairperson an easy one. Many, many thanks are
extended to everyone for giving of their time and energy in planning for this event.
Please enjoy this wonderful evening! Thank you for being part of the 42nd Annual HCC Gala!

A MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
Dear Friends,
This evening we celebrate 42 years of dedicated service by the Hispanic
Counseling Center to the Long Island community.
I am very happy and proud to be part of this wonderful organization
which is a critical resource for the Long Island community. On a daily basis,
HCC serves many families, individuals, and children who experience
circumstances that impede success in their lives. We hear so many
testimonials from our clients, telling us how their lives have changed
so positively after they received services at the Hispanic Counseling
Center. As we enter the 42nd year, we will continue with the same
enthusiasm to continue creating and expanding programs that are
most beneficial for our clients.
Among HCC’s great strengths are the value that is placed on partnerships and our commitment to serve as
a necessary and continued support to the many systems in Nassau County which often seek the resources
that are found at HCC.
I am thankful for these ongoing partnerships and I am grateful that HCC is included as a well-respected
partnering agency in various grants and projects that help expand the reach of HCC programs such as
domestic violence, gang prevention, drug and alcohol treatment, education, and parent training.
Underlying the success of these and all HCC initiatives is the hard work, creativity, and wonderful support
from the entire staff of HCC. The HCC team constantly strives to provide the best quality of service and
maintains strict compliance with all local and state regulations, which ensures that HCC is consistently
awarded the maximum level of certification possible during program audits.
I would like to thank the Honorees, and the Sponsors and Underwriters for their support in making this a
most successful fundraising event. I wish to thank the Board of Directors for their continued support in
helping HCC achieve its current goals and for supporting the agency in its future growth; our Fundraising
Chair, Nanette Malebranche, for helping HCC achieve a very successful Fundraising Gala for so many years;
the members of the Gala Planning Committee for their contributions to make this evening a great success;
and to Mary Mirabito, the Director of Development, for raising our levels of funding and for her dedication
in organizing this beautiful 42nd Annual Gala.
In closing, I wish to express my deep thanks and appreciation to all of our guests for joining with us today —
your presence strengthens HCC, and to all of the staff of the Hispanic Counseling Center for their professionalism
and extraordinary dedication in serving our clients and in helping HCC to achieve its goals.

HISPANIC COUNSELING CENTER 42 ND ANNUAL GALA 3
MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the Hispanic Counseling Center
is to enhance the strengths of Long Island’s families and children
through bilingual, bicultural counseling, prevention, vocational, and
educational services to enrich their lives, foster economic independence,
and nurture dreams for the generations to come.
ORGANIZATIONAL PROFILE
Hispanic Counseling Center (HCC) promotes family and community wellness with a fully bilingual/
bicultural staff and a network of interrelated services including licensed behavioral health treatment.
HCC supports the recovery of the individual, and the entire family system, in a single point of entry.
HCC has offices in Hempstead and Bay Shore that provide treatment and prevention for chemical
dependency, mental health and many youth and family programs, serving more than 1,500 clients
per month across the agency in 2018. HCC is the only agency in Nassau County licensed by the state
to provide these services in a fully bilingual, bicultural setting—an environment of hope and encouragement
for families and individuals working toward a constructive, self-sustaining way of life.
Services are available to all, regardless of race, ethnicity, or ability to pay.
HCC was originally established in 1977 by the Nassau County Department of Drug and Alcohol Addiction
Services and the Nassau County Youth Board to provide substance abuse treatment services and
services for children and adolescents in response to the county’s growing Hispanic population. The
agency has grown over the years, adding programs to respond to the community’s most urgent
needs. Through individual, group, and family counseling, educational workshops, case management,
support groups, family activities, after-school tutoring and enrichment, summer camp, crisis intervention,
and prevention programs for at-risk youth, clients can receive multiple services for themselves
and their families. Since its inception, HCC has been a beacon of hope for many immigrants
and their families who have come to Long Island seeking to make a better life for themselves and for
their families.

HISPANIC COUNSELING CENTER 42 ND ANNUAL GALA 5
THE HISPANIC COUNSELING CENTER, INC.
The Hispanic Counseling Center (HCC) is a multi-service agency with culturally competent, fully
bilingual/bicultural treatment and prevention services for chemical dependency, mental illness,
and youth and family services. The agency was established in 1977 by the Nassau County Department
of Drug and Alcohol Addiction to provide substance abuse services to a growing Latino population
in Nassau County. Services are available to anyone, regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, or economic
status; no one in need is turned away due to an inability to pay or for lack of insurance. Programs
include Mental Health; Chemical Dependency; Youth and Family Services; Child and Family Respite
Support Services; Supported Housing for the Mentally Ill; Domestic Violence Prevention; Teen
Drop-In Center; and Mental Health Programs for People with HIV/AIDS.
Since its inception, HCC has grown from one program and four staff in a 600 square foot rental
office, to ownership of a 38,000 square foot modern facility with more than eight programs serving
over 1,500 clients monthly, with 75 employees.
HCC has the proud distinction of being the only agency in the region which is licensed by both the
NY State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services (OASAS) and the NY State Office of
Mental Health (OMH) to provide bilingual, bicultural behavioral health services. In 1986 HCC was
licensed by OASAS to provide substance abuse treatment, prevention, and education services, and
alcohol abuse treatment. In 1990, HCC was licensed by OMH to operate the first bilingual/bicultural
mental health outpatient treatment clinic in Nassau County.
HCC’s current budget is just over $6.5 million, with nearly half of the budget designated for mandated
and contracted services as part of New York State funding to the agency, for the provision of mental
health and chemical dependency services. Referrals are made to HCC in a variety of ways: the
agency works closely with local hospitals and mental health outpatient clinics which refer patients
under their care; with Nassau County agencies including the Department of Social Services, Child
Protection Services, Family Court, the District Court, and the Probation Department; other social
service agencies; local school districts including Freeport, Hempstead, Mineola, Uniondale, and
Westbury; with churches and religious institutions, and with attorneys and medical providers.
HCC is well recognized in the Long Island community and throughout New York State, and continues
to serve as a model for other agencies. Agency programs demonstrate a high utilization and completion
rate; the agency consistently meets funders’ expectations; and the agency has historically been
re-licensed for the maximum length of time. In addition to being recognized by regulating agencies
and other social service providers, HCC is held in high regard by its target audience, the Hispanic and
minority community population. The Hispanic Counseling Center continues to be a beacon of hope
for those in need. Like those we serve, HCC continues the journey, with hope and faith in our mission.
