National Latinx AIDS Awareness Day (NLAAD) is observed annually on October 15 to raise awareness about the disproportionate impact of HIV on Hispanic and Latino communities in the United States. HIV infection rates among Latinx individuals are higher than the national average. Factors contributing to this disparity include cultural stigma, lack of access to healthcare, and socioeconomic disparities. NLAAD aims to address these issues and improve HIV outcomes within the Latinx community.

As a community healthcare provider, we celebrate the invaluable contributions of Hispanic/Latino pioneers whose leadership and innovation have advanced community health, medical practice, and nursing practice. Their legacies continue to inspire progress toward equity, access, and culturally responsive care for all.

Dr. Ildaura Murillo-Rohde (Panama) Psychiatric nurse, educator, and organizational leader. Founding member of the National Association of Hispanic Nurses (NAHN). Advocated for Spanish-speaking nurses and culturally competent healthcare. Worked to expand mental health access for underserved Latino communities. Known as the “Florence Nightingale of the Latino community.” She was the first Latino nurse to receive a PhD from NYU.  She advocated for cultural competence in mental healthcare and nursing practice.  

Dr. Antonia Novello (Puerto Rico) First Latino U.S. Surgeon General . Advocated for children’s health, minority health, and AIDS awareness.  Broke barriers for women and Latinas in federal health leadership.

Dr. Salvador Moncada (Honduras)  Honduran pharmacologist and medical researcher.  Discovered the role of nitric oxide in the cardiovascular system, which revolutionized treatments for heart disease.

Dr. Severo Ochoa (Spain) Spanish-born biochemist, Nobel Prize winner in Medicine . His work on RNA synthesis laid foundations for modern genetics and biotechnology.

Dr. Carlos Juan Finlay (Cuba)  Cuban physician and epidemiologist. First to theorize that mosquitoes transmit yellow fever, paving the way for modern public health and vector-control strategies.

As a community healthcare provider, we celebrate the invaluable contributions of Hispanic/Latino pioneers. We interviewed some of our colleagues on what they value most about their Latino culture and asked them to identify a cultural icon that represents the values of their country or something special they would like to highlight. 

Alejandro Dawson (Panama)  General Torrijos –Staunch advocate for advancing the marginalized communities of Panama through increased access to affordable housing and education.  He was a revolutionary leader that impacted the lives of all Panamanians and is responsible for signing the Panama treaty with President Carter.  He transformed Panama through his advocacy for social reform, economic independence and national sovereignty.  His influence on Panamanian identify plays a significant role in my family’s life. We emphasize the importance of education and raised two generations to seek higher education and training, own homes and lead proudly as Panamanian-Americans.

Kristal Frias (Dominican Republic) As a Dominican woman, I love the fact that I can switch from Spanish to English whenever I want.  I love my Black roots. I love that our language still uses words from our Taino ancestors.  I love how loud I am.  I love that I eat lasagna with rice! I love that mangu can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I love our obsession with Ana Gabriel.  I love Tipico --i just love it.  I love the natural beauty of my native land.  

Maria Suarez  (Spain) I would pick Rosalia de Castro as my cultural influence and icon from Spain.  We both were born in Gallecia,  a marginalized section of our native country, Spain.  I remember seeing her face on our currency until recently.  She is celebrated for her preservation and elevation of Galician identity and culture in her works.  She was a fierce, determined woman ahead of her time.  This was significant to me as a Galician girl.  She instilled a sense of pride and empowerment. She challenged cultural norms as a writer and empowered women across the country and the world.  

Evelyn Chang (Belize) I love when my mom makes Belizean style chicken with rice and beans.

As Community Health Centers (CHCs) mark 60 years of saving lives and dollars, they need your help. Federal funding that keeps CHCs open expires September 30. Without action from Congress, patient access is at risk.

🩺CHCs now care for more patients than ever before, serving nearly 34 million people across 17,000 locations nationwide. They include:

✅ Over 10 million rural residents (at least 1 in 5),
✅ More than 20 million people who live in poverty (at least 1 in 3), and
✅ More than 6 million (at least 1 in 5) uninsured people.

CHCs serve at least 1 in 10 Americans and up to 1 in 7, yet account for only 1% of total U.S. healthcare spending, saving Medicaid and Medicare billions of dollars annually by reducing costly emergency, inpatient, and specialty care.

America needs Community Health Centers. Together, we must ensure that every Community Health Center can continue delivering comprehensive, affordable care that saves lives.
