This resolution expresses Congressional support for designating September 22, 2025, as "National Hispanic Nurses Day" and recognizes the National Association of Hispanic Nurses (NAHN) as the leading organization representing Hispanic nurses in the United States. The resolution highlights the critical role Hispanic nurses play in the healthcare system, particularly in providing culturally competent care to diverse communities and reducing health care disparities in underserved Hispanic populations. It acknowledges NAHN's 50-year history of advocacy and leadership since 1975, noting the organization's presence in 24 states and its work promoting educational and professional opportunities for Hispanic nurses. The resolution calls on the American people to observe this designated day with appropriate recognition ceremonies and activities to honor Hispanic nurses' contributions to healthcare. This is a symbolic resolution with no direct funding or legal requirements—it simply expresses Congressional sentiment and encourages public recognition of Hispanic nurses' vital role in the healthcare system.
