National Hispanic Medical Association (NHMA) is a non-profit organization that represents licensed Hispanic physicians in the United States.[1] It is based in Washington, D.C.[2]
History
[edit]The National Hispanic Medical Association (NHMA) was established in 1994 in Washington, DC, following an announcement at a White House press conference in December 1993. The conference was attended by President Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, and leaders from ten medical associations. The founders of NHMA were physicians involved in the 1993 and 1994 White House Health Care Reform Task Force meetings, where they advocated for issues concerning Hispanic health.[3][4]
Since 1997, NHMA has hosted an annual Hispanic Health Conference in Washington, D.C., focusing on access to healthcare, opportunities for clinicians, health research for Latinos, healthcare policies related to the Affordable Care Act, and efforts to eliminate health disparities faced by Latinos.[5]
Activities
[edit]NHMA engages with policymakers and healthcare providers to address health services for Hispanic communities. It works with White House, federal agencies, Congress, the private sector, foundations, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, the Congressional Hispanic Conference Institute, and other legislative bodies on matters related to healthcare policy, medical education, health reform, and research.[6]
NHMA conducts leadership programs aimed at developing future leaders and nominates individuals to positions within the federal government and corporate sector. It has trained fellows and resident leaders with support from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. NHMA also organizes Hispanic Health Congressional Briefings and local chapter policy forums to inform Congressional staff and stakeholders about health improvement strategies for Hispanic communities. Additionally, NHMA disseminates a monthly newsletter to its members and program participants.[5]
