Medicine in the 21st Century is complex. Our patients, our communities are facing multiple barriers to health. Our job as health professionals requires collaboration, compassion, and a commitment to betterment for our patients and for ourselves. That was the seed that gave birth to the Journal and the words that you are reading today. NHMA members work to improve the health and well-being of Hispanic populations locally, regionally, and nationally through mentorship and education, improved health care delivery, and advocacy. JNHMA will provide a forum for idea sharing, research finding, and advocacy for our diverse Hispanic communities. It will also serve as a virtual link where members can engage and share unique perspectives and best practices with the medical and business communities.
