Latino Economic Development Council

In our latest blog, Dr. Arturo Aceves González shares his journey from attending the National Hispanic Medical Association (NHMA) 2026 Conference as a 40 Under 40 honoree to leading boots-on-the-ground change right here in Nebraska.

At LEDC, we believe that true economic mobility is impossible without addressing the Social Determinants of Health. Dr. Arturo’s role is integral to our impact—bridging the gap between policy, grassroots outreach, and wealth creation by:

🔹 Bringing vital health resources directly to the Latino community at Omaha’s Cinco de Mayo Health Fair.

🔹 Championing legislative breakthroughs like LB1212 to pave pathways for Internationally Trained Physicians to practice in underserved rural counties.

🔹 Breaking cycles of poverty to build sustainable, generational wealth.

Transformational change isn't a solo journey—it requires conscious leadership from all of us.

Every stitch tells the city what we want. ✨

LEDC is leading Community Patchwork at Future Lab Fest this Friday — a drop-in art activity where every patch you contribute becomes part of the conversation about Omaha’s next chapter.

Why it matters: Future Lab is collecting community input that feeds directly into Omaha’s new comprehensive plan and the Future Land Use Map. The city is asking. We want to make sure nuestra gente is in the answer.
