https://www.politico.com/newsletters/politico-pulse/2021/08/17/biden-officials-prep-for-covid-boosters-this-fall-797198 Nine health and patient organizations have banded together to launch Health and Caregiving Leaders for Paid Leave, a coalition urging Congress to enact universal paid family and medical leave.

The group is led by the National Partnership for Women & Families and includes the American Academy of Pediatrics, American Heart Association, Elizabeth Dole Foundation, March of Dimes, National Alliance for Caregiving, National Hispanic Medical Association, The Arc, and UsAgainstAlzheimer’s.

The pandemic has thrown a spotlight on paid-leave needs, especially among women of color, the group argues. More than 110 million people, roughly 79 percent of the workforce, don’t not have paid leave. But when such policies are in place, 20 percent fewer women leave the workforce, according to a recent March of Dimes study.

https://perspectivesofchange.hms.harvard.edu/node/128 The National Hispanic Medical Association (NHMA) was established in 1994 in Washington, DC. The organization was announced at a White House Press Conference in December 1993 with President Bill Clinton, First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton and ten medical association leaders. NHMA’s founders were physicians who attended the White House Health Care Reform Task Force meetings in 1993 and 1994, advocating for Hispanic health issues.

Today, the organization represents the interests of 50,000 Hispanic physicians in the United States. To learn more, visit: http://www.nhmamd.org/about/about-nhma/.

https://www.nei.nih.gov/learn-about-eye-health/resources-for-health-educators/national-eye-health-education-program/nehep-partnership-directory/national-hispanic-medical-association Established in 1994 in Washington, DC, the National Hispanic Medical Association (NHMA) is a nonprofit association representing the interests of 45,000 licensed Hispanic/Latino physicians in the United States. The vision of NHMA is to be the national leader in improving the health of Hispanic/Latino populations. The mission of NHMA is to empower Hispanic/Latino physicians to lead efforts to improve the health of Hispanic/Latino populations in collaboration with the state, regional, and local level Hispanic/Latino medical societies, resident and medical student organizations, and other public and private sector partners. As a rapidly growing national resource based in the Nation’s capital, NHMA provides policymakers and healthcare providers with expert information and support in strengthening health service delivery to Hispanic/Latino communities across the Nation. At its inception, NHMA held strategic planning meetings with physicians in five regions of the country, identifying the most critical issues they faced and took steps to define a blueprint of future activities in the following areas: delivery system, medical education, research, policy, and communications. In 1997, NHMA began convening its Annual Hispanic Health Conference in March each year in Washington, DC. The agenda includes expanding access to quality health care and increasing opportunities in medical education, cultural competence, and research for Hispanics/Latinos. Another focus is policy development and education efforts focused on eliminating health disparities faced by Hispanics/Latinos. The Board of Directors sets the priorities for NHMA’s advocacy agenda. NHMA works closely with the White House, federal agencies and Congress, the private sector, and foundations as well as national Hispanic/Latino organizations. As a member of the National Hispanic Leadership Agenda, NHMA meets regularly with federal officials to hold them accountable on Hispanic/Latino issues. NHMA also works closely with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus on healthcare policy development. In addition, NHMA participates in coalitions with other organizations, focused on improving racial/ethnic disparities in health in the United States.

The National Hispanic Medical Association (NHMA) has partnered with the GE Foundation to mentor 50 outstanding public health and medical students on how to be successful in serving underserved Hispanic patients and families. NHMA is looking for public health mentors from across the country – specifically in Los Angeles, San Antonio, Chicago, New York City, and Atlanta. The mentorship program will last one year and requires that mentors stay in communication with their student mentee on a monthly basis. Mentors should also expect to serve as a preceptor for their student over a 3-day shadow visit to be scheduled at a convenient time throughout the year.

https://blog.epa.gov/2014/04/11/healthier-latino-communities/#more-1611 The relationship between environmental protection and public health is at the heart of EPA’s mission and the agenda of the National Hispanic Medical Association. For years, Hispanic communities have been living in areas where the quality of the air they breathe and the water they drink does not meet national standards. In 2009, 70% of Hispanic children lived in areas with poor air quality. All too often, Latinos work in occupations where they are exposed to greater environmental hazards and toxic chemicals. Furthermore, when it comes to health disparities, Latinos, particularly Puerto Ricans, are disproportionately affected by asthma attacks and asthma related deaths. Make no mistake. Climate change is very much a public health threat; it widens the health disparities we work to address.

EPA will keep fighting for environmental justice—but we can’t do it alone. We can never underestimate the importance of Hispanic medical providers as a culturally competent link, ensuring the health of the Hispanic community in America. Therefore, EPA and the NHMA are starting to work more closely together to meet our common goals of improving the environmental health of Hispanic communities throughout the nation. We have been sharing valuable information and expertise to address the challenges Latino and underserved communities face, from air quality issues and many more.

EPA recently took a step forward to protect the predominantly Hispanic farm worker community from the dangers of pesticide exposure. Each year, between 1,200 and 1,400 pesticide exposure incidents are reported on farms and in fields or forests. Last month, EPA proposed commonsense revisions to the Worker Protection Standard to protect farmworkers and their families. This is just one example of a step toward healthier communities. We’re not going to solve our environmental and health challenges overnight. Yet, we know that together we can make a difference to ensure that we have a cleaner, healthier environment and true environmental justice for all.

EPA and NHMA’s goals of protecting our environment and public health are aligned. In fact, they are joined at the hip. Our future and the future of our children depend on clean air, clean water and a stable climate. Hispanic communities, EPA, and the NHMA are working towards that goal.

Together, we hope to make a difference, one community at a time.

FRIEDEN, JOYCE. "Hispanic Physician Group Aims to Develop Leaders." Clinical Psychiatry News 34.5 (2006): 82-82. First, the association has partnered with Meharry Medical College in Nashville, Tenn., a historically black medical school, to recruit Hispanic students for the college

The project involves creating a model joint mentoring program, offering a summer research opportunity to a select number of potential students, and establishing a regional interview program that provides an opportunity for NHMA medical volunteers to interview students— through teleconferencing or other means—who have applied to Meharry.

The second program is a 2-year initiative with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services office of minority health to develop leadership training, education, and outreach programs to improve Hispanic health. The initiative’s goals include recruiting Hispanics for senior-level positions at HHS and developing a national leadership training program for Hispanic doctors and public health professionals.erence announcing the initiative. The association currently has two leadership-related fellowship programs, she explained. One, the NHMA leadership fellowship, trains midcareer doctors on how to be better advocates. The other one, the NHMA public health leadership fellowship, involves training Hispanic public health managers to be better leaders for the country. NHMA board member Dr. Luis Estevez said the association’s overall goals go beyond just recruiting Hispanic physicians. “We are [also] forming partnerships to try to build a pipeline to high schools and colleges to not only have more Latinos enter medical school, but also enter health professions in general, be it nursing, technological fields, or medicine,” he said. Another place more Latinos are needed is in the health care system, especially in the top ranks, Dr. Estevez continued. “One study done at hospital systems in New York found that [in] some of the hospitals that had up to 96 persons [at] the level of vice president and above, including the board of directors, there was not a single Hispanic, despite the fact that these hospitals—which receive federal funds, by the way—are located in Latino communities. You’re not going to change the culture of the hospital unless you also affect the governance.”

These organizations included SNMA, LMSA, the National Medical Association, and the National Hispanic Medical Association. All four national organizations have a distinguished track record of supporting the recruitment and promotion of black- and Latino-identified individuals interested in the health professions. Additionally, these organizations house the human capital vital to addressing the objectives listed in Healthy People 2020. Through informal discussions, those of us participating in the collaboration became aware that this initiative was relevant to health professionals beyond our initial collaborators, such as the Resident and Fellow Section of the American Medical Association.
