National Association of Hispanic Nurses - Michigan Chapter

05/13/2026

As July approaches, I could not be more excited to officially pass the NAHN-MI presidency to my dear friend, Dr. Kim Holka.

Kim brings dedication, heart, vision, and a deep commitment to nursing, leadership, and community. We are in very capable hands with Kim helping guide our way, and I truly believe NAHN-MI will soar to new heights under her leadership.

Leadership transitions are never endings. They are evolutions. While Kim steps into the president role, you can absolutely count on me to remain right by her side as her loyal sidekick, cheerleader, collaborator, and supporter.

Serving as president of NAHN-MI has been one of the greatest honors of my professional life, and I am incredibly proud of what we have built together as a chapter. The future is bright, and I cannot wait to see what comes next for our organization. 💙💚💛

NAHN family, I encourage all members to join the Candidate Town Hall on May 14 at 8:00 PM. This is a great opportunity to hear directly from the candidates, ask questions, and learn more before voting opens June 5–12.

I will be in attendance and hope that others take advantage of this opportunity and engage in shaping the future of NAHN.

NAHN-MI showing up strong in the community 💙

This weekend, our NAHN-MI nurses volunteered at the Cinco de Mayo Fiesta in Southwest Detroit, serving as “First Aiders” during an exciting Lucha Libre event.

This is also what NAHN-MI stands for: representation, service, and commitment to the health and well-being of the communities we serve.

Proud of this team for stepping up, staying ready, and giving back in such a meaningful way.
