This resolution formally expresses support for the designation of September 22, 2025 , as "National Hispanic Nurses Day." It aims to recognize the critical role and significant contributions of Hispanic nurses within the Nation's healthcare system, particularly their provision of culturally and ethnically competent care and their efforts in reducing health disparities. The resolution also acknowledges the National Association of Hispanic Nurses (NAHN) as the premier organization representing and advocating for Hispanic nurses across the United States. The resolution highlights NAHN's long-standing history since 1975 in advancing the health of Hispanic communities and promoting educational, professional, and leadership opportunities for Hispanic nurses. NAHN is recognized for its advocacy efforts, including convening nursing leaders on Capitol Hill to promote legislation that improves the well-being of Hispanic communities. Hispanic nurses are seen as key allies to Congress, adding needed diversity to the profession and supporting underserved communities, especially in a post-COVID era. Ultimately, the House of Representatives supports the goals and ideals of this designation and encourages the people of the United States to observe National Hispanic Nurses Day with appropriate recognition ceremonies, activities, and programs. This observance would demonstrate the importance of Hispanic nurses and NAHN's continued leadership in healthcare advocacy and cultural competence, further paving the way for their essential work.
