National Hispanic Medical Association

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/.
