WASHINGTON, Aug. 9, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Since its original founding in 1999 by Dr.
Elena Rios, MD, and Joe Ivy Buofford, MD, under a Cooperative
Agreement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services,
and most recent support by Centene Foundation and Centene/Health
Net, the NHHF Leadership Fellowship continues to uplift Hispanic
physicians with the ultimate goal of improving the health of all
Americans.
This upcoming week, NHHF is proud to host the California
Leadership Fellowship Program so they can participate in this
year's Sacramento Institute. The NHHF Fellowship program is a
year-long executive training that covers leadership skill-building
sessions, as well as lectures on public health policy programs at
the federal and state levels, focused on Latino health equity.
"We are excited to bring together our California Leadership
Fellowship at the Sacramento Institute to meet and network with the
Governor's office, legislators, and key stakeholders who will
increase their understanding of the pathways to healthcare
leadership positions. We continue to be deeply grateful to Health
Net for their leadership and support making the Sacramento
Institute possible." - Dr. Elena
Rios, President of NHHF.
To celebrate the success of this year's institute, NHHF and
Centene will host a reception to honor our CA Fellowship Class of
2024. At the reception, NHHF will recognize Assemblymember
Joaquin Arambula, MD, the 31st
District Fresno, CA
Representative, alongside Suzan
Murin, MD, the Interim Dean at UC Davis, School of
Medicine.
Please join us and meet our Fellows at the reception that
will take place on August 13, 2024,
at 4191 East Commerce Way, Sacramento,
