On this National Latino Physician Day, we celebrate the doctors who understand our families, our culture and our language, and who show up for patients who too often go unheard.

For many Latino families, seeing a doctor who looks like them and speaks their language can be the difference between avoiding care and getting it. Every Latino physician is a bridge, and every Latino medical student is a promise of a healthier future.

Here's to the trailblazers, the mentors and the next generation in white coats. ¡Adelante!

Who's the Latino physician who made a difference in your life? Tell us below.
