HDA’s Journal Global reach

“This 2025 Hispanic Heritage Month provides an additional opportunity to explore the incredible impact Latinas and Latinos have had on the United States for generations. The Latino presence in America spans centuries, predating Spain’s colonization of what is now part of the United States, and they have been an integral part of shaping our nation since the Revolutionary War.” #WeAreHDA.

Dr. Luis Yepes, 2025 President Hispanic Dental Association
