Please share! 🙌🏽 Grateful for the opportunity to present today to the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee meeting on “What Can Congress Do to Address the Severe Shortage of Minority Health Care Professionals and the Maternal Health Crisis?”
Also grateful to be able to represent Latinos and many of us in this movement for the long haul for our patients.

6% is not enough. Today, we celebrate #NationalLatinoPhysicianDay. Having Latinos better represented in medicine is crucial for our communities to improve the significant health care barriers, inequalities, and poorer outcomes in the Latino population.
Only 6% of doctors in the US are Latinos. We need a better representation in Medicine to overcome the healthcare barriers, inequalities, and poorer outcomes in the Latino population. Spread this message. Let’s create awareness of this matter 🌎🥼#NationalLatinoPhysicianDay
The Latino community continues to grow, yet only 6% of physicians are Latino. #NationalLatinoPhysicianDay celebrates & raises awareness. Congrats to all the amazing Latino & Latina Physicians including @RepRaulRuizMD@YadiraCaraveo for their advocacy. https://t.co/3avzuRYPT9

We know that Latinos and Latinas are severely underrepresented in medicine. We know that the assisting staff in clinics/hospitals are mostly Latino (they are many times speaking the language) however the physicians are not. That’s why we have created this movement. We don’t need articles to know because it’s our lived experience. Please join the NLPD movement! Links to NPR story and articles below.
