communities and leading efforts in reducing health care 
disparities; 
Whereas Hispanic nurses are well-positioned to provide lead-
ership in eliminating health care disparities, especially in 
underserved Hispanic communities through their advo-
cacy, education, and clinical expertise; 
Whereas, since 1975, the National Association of Hispanic 
Nurses (NAHN), with chapters throughout 24 States 
and growing, has been the premier organization rep-
resenting Hispanic nurses (RNs/LPNs/APNs) and ad-
vancing the health of Hispanic communities across the 
United States, leading advocacy efforts and promoting 
educational, professional, and leadership opportunities for 
Hispanic nurses; 
Whereas, since September is the month set aside to honor the 
contributions of Hispanics, it is only fitting that Hispanic 
nurses, who have made significant contributions to their 
community and country, be recognized and honored; 
Whereas the designation of National Hispanic Nurses Day 
will raise awareness of the vital role Hispanic nurses play 
in the health care system and help pave the way for the 
continued essential work of NAHN in advancing health 
care for Hispanic communities; 
Whereas, each February, NAHN convenes over 100 nursing 
leaders from academia, research, education, and practice 
in Washington, DC, for a Day on Capitol Hill to promote 
critical legislation that improves the health and well-being 
of Hispanic communities across the United States; 
Whereas Hispanic nurses serve as key allies to Congress, 
working closely with legislators to improve the education, 
retention, recruitment, and practice of all nurses, particu-

larly in advocating for the health and safety of under-
served Hispanic communities; 
Whereas Hispanic nurses add needed diversity to the nursing 
profession and continue to be pivotal in supporting the 
needs of underserved and underresourced communities, 
particularly those severely impacted by COVID–19 pan-
demic; and 
Whereas NAHN has positioned itself as the primary voice 
and go-to resource for advocating on behalf of Hispanic 
nurses and communities, especially in addressing health 
care challenges in a post-COVID era: Now, therefore, be 
it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) supports the goals and ideals, and the des-
ignation, of National Hispanic Nurses Day, as pro-
posed by the National Association of Hispanic 
Nurses, recognizing the National Association of His-
panic Nurses as the leading organization rep-
resenting Hispanic nurses; 
(2) recognizes the significant contributions of 
Hispanic nurses and the National Association of 
Hispanic Nurses’ leadership in promoting health
