We are so proud of Dr. Geraldine Luna, MOLA’s Vice President, for championing greater Latinx representation in medicine and highlighting how linguistic and culturally concordant care are essential to patient wellbeing. Thank you Univision Chicago for the feature! Watch the full segment here.
Shoutout to one of our very own Mentorship Leaders and Board Members, Dr. Emma Olivera, for working with Governor Pritzker to officially recognize National Latino Physician Day with a state proclamation!
“Representation matters, and this acknowledgment reminds us of the vital role we play in advancing health equity, caring for our communities, and inspiring the next generation.” –Dr. Olivera
MOLA proudly celebrated National Latinx Physician Day with LMSA Pritzker! We had such a great time connecting with superstar students and hearing Dr. Marco Bonilla share his research on onconephrology and renal health equity, as well as Dr. Arshiya Baig discuss her use of community-based interventions to address Latinx diabetes disparities.
