LOS ANGELES, CA and WASHINGTON, DC — November 18, 2025 — (NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE) — The National Hispanic Health Foundation (NHHF) proudly announces its 2025 Annual Scholarship Galas, celebrating outstanding Hispanic students pursuing health professional careers who demonstrate exceptional academic achievement, leadership, and dedication to serving the Hispanic community.
“Our mission is to empower the next generation of Hispanic health leaders to deliver compassionate, culturally responsive care and advance health equity nationwide,” said Dr. Elena Rios, MD, MSPH, MACP, president of the National Hispanic Health Foundation. “These students represent the future of healthcare, and we are proud to celebrate their achievements and invest in their aspirations.”
Hispanics are the largest ethnic group in the U.S. but remain underrepresented in the health workforce, highlighting the urgent need for culturally and linguistically competent professionals. NHHF is addressing this critical challenge through its distinguished national scholarship program, which recognizes and supports future Hispanic health leaders.
Each year, NHHF awards scholarships to promising students in medical, nursing, dental, public health, pharmacy, and physician associate schools who have excelled academically and committed to community service.
The annual galas bring together national leaders in healthcare, policy, education, and philanthropy to honor these scholars and their future impact on the nation’s health system. Awards are being handed out in Los Angeles on Friday, November 21st and in Washington, DC on Wednesday, December 3. See the list of Awardees and Scholarship recipients here.
Tickets and sponsorship opportunities are available.
