🌟 Celebrating Filipino American History Month at MedZed! 🌟 This October, we are proud to honor Filipino American History Month and recognize the incredible contributions of Filipino Americans, particularly in the healthcare field. For decades, Filipino Americans have played a pivotal role in healthcare, serving as nurses, doctors, caregivers, and essential workers. In fact, Filipino nurses make up a significant portion of the nursing workforce in the United States, providing critical care in hospitals, clinics, and communities across the country. Their dedication, resilience, and compassion have helped shape the healthcare landscape, especially during challenging times like the COVID-19 pandemic. At MedZed, we celebrate and deeply appreciate the rich culture and heritage of our Filipino American colleagues. Their hard work and commitment to healthcare are vital to our mission of delivering compassionate, quality care to the most vulnerable populations.

At MedZed, we are proud to celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15 - October 15) by honoring the rich history, cultures, and contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans. We especially want to acknowledge the incredible work of our Hispanic staff members and the lasting impact they have on our mission to champion health equity in communities across the country. Hispanic contributions to medicine and healthcare are profound, with trailblazers like Dr. Carlos Juan Finlay, who discovered that mosquitoes transmit yellow fever, paving the way for advancements in public health. Dr. Helen Rodríguez-Trías, a pioneering Puerto Rican pediatrician and women’s rights advocate, was instrumental in expanding healthcare access for underserved populations. Dr. Antonia Novello, the first Hispanic woman to serve as U.S. Surgeon General, has made lasting contributions to public health policies. As we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, let’s recognize and honor the outstanding contributions of Hispanic individuals in healthcare, who continue to inspire and shape the future of medicine. Thank you to all of our MedZed staff and the broader Hispanic community for your incredible dedication to improving health outcomes and making a difference in the lives of those we serve. #HispanicHeritageMonth #HealthEquity #OneMedZed #DiversityInHealthcare #OneTeamOneMissionOneMedZed
