The National Hispanic Foundation (NHHF), the philanthropic arm of the National Hispanic Medical Association (NHMA), held its 20th Annual New York Hispanic Health Professional Student Scholarship Gala, in partnership with the United Health Foundation, on Nov. 30 at the Sheraton Times Square Hotel. During our Gala, we were proud to present the scholarship recipients from the Eastern United States, as well as the Hispanic Health Leadership Awardees who inspire us with their leadership for change in healthcare for our community.

Hispanics are the largest ethnic group in the United States, yet there is a dearth of Hispanic health professionals with cultural and linguistic skills to deliver quality care for this growing population. In addition, federal, state, local government, and private sector healthcare agencies have minimal Hispanic representation in top leadership positions that can develop policies and programs targeted to the Hispanic community. Since 2004, NHHF has responded to these challenges by awarding more than $1.9 million in scholarships to nearly 350 outstanding Hispanic health professional students for their exceptional academic performance, leadership, and commitment to caring for Hispanics.

We believe they are the future Hispanic leaders of our nation.
