Dear NFLHE members,

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I want to share the link below to a letter published by the New York Times from NFLHE in response to its article about the deportation of illegal immigrants from U.S. hospitals. I am inspired and honored to work with the executive hospital leaders of NFLHE because this is a reflection of the need and importance of another national voice for Latino health care. As a growing organization, we are working to reach others and respond to our mission.

Thanks to all of you for your support. I look forward to continuing to work with you as we strive to build opportunities for leadership to improve the health care of our communities.

All my best,

 

Angela Anderson Guerrero, MPP
Executive Director
