The Moses/Weitzman Health System is a global leader addressing challenges faced by organizations caring for the poor and diverse populations, and is home to programs focusing on education, research, and process improvement support for safety net providers. The system delivers primary care to more than 150,000 patients in Connecticut, and extends access to specialty care for more than 2.5 million individuals across the U.S. It is a national accrediting body for organizations training advanced practice providers, and offers accredited education and training for Medical Assistants in multiple states. As an incubator for new ideas in areas including social justice, the environment, and social determinants of health, the MWHS is addressing challenges faced by providers caring for underserved communities, creating innovative and impactful initiatives led by nationally and internationally recognized experts. As it forges pathways into the future of primary care, the MWHS honors Lillian Reba Moses (1924-2012), a granddaughter of slaves, and Gerard (Gerry) Weitzman (1938-1999), whose ancestors escaped pogroms in Eastern Europe. Their vision and commitment to justice and equity in healthcare is the foundation upon which the Moses/Weitzman Health System was built.

Follow up to my prior post: Filled with joy and gratitude to receive the prestigious "Most Influential Filipina Woman in the World" award from the Foundation for Filipina Women's Network under the category of “Innovator and Thought Leader: Pioneer of Progress.” Surrounded by fellow Filipina disrupters, trailblazers, and social change agents, I was honored at the Awards Gala Ceremony, the highlight of the 20th Filipina Leadership Global Summit, held at the Sheraton Grand Sydney Hyde Park in Sydney, Australia, from October 27 to 31, 2024. The 2024 Summit’s theme "Femtech Futures: AI & Tech," celebrates women of Philippine ancestry who are transforming leadership in the global workplace. As part of this recognition and the Summit, I shared how our team at?the Weitzman Institute has leveraged technology to tackle pressing primary care and public health issues from upskilling the healthcare workforce, ensuring timely access to quality healthcare, and addressing the youth mental health crisis. My commitment to a two-year “Global Project” includes understanding the mental health needs of Filipinas and other women of color in the healthcare workforce (DM if you’re interested in learning more). Marily M., Founder and CEO of the Foundation for Filipina Women's Network, states, "The Global FWN100? awardees are not just leaders; they are visionaries who dare to reimagine the future. These women embody the spirit of innovation, resilience, and compassion that defines the Filipina on the world stage. Through their groundbreaking work in AI, technology, and beyond, they are not only shattering glass ceilings but are architecting entirely new leadership paradigms." Thank you again to Marily Mondejar, Joyce R. Javier MD, MPH, MS, FAAP, Teresita Batayola, FE PUNZALAN, Nora Galleros, Maria Beebe, Bambi Lorica, MD, Ellen Samson, Laarni San Juan RN, PHN, MPH, Lorna Patajo-Kapunan, Rhodora Palomar-Fresnedi Sofia Aragon, JD, BSN, RN, FAAN Dr. Denise Koh (BSc, MD, CCFP, MPH, FRCPC, ACBOM), Regina Berba, Myla Arceno, Maria Benel Corazon Se, CPA, Donna Avellana Künzler, Marla Rausch, Thelma Boac and the many other prior awardees who I met this past week who have come before me to pave the way where there was no way, said "yes" when others said "no" or "it can't be done", and have also disrupted spaces to be "the first and only, though certainly not the last."
Congratulations to our Weitzman Institute's Vice President and Director April Joy Damian, PhD, MSc, CHPM, PMP on being named 2024 Most Influential Filipina Woman in the World! Thank you, April Joy, for all that you do. Enjoy Sydney!

Happy Filipino American History Month—Sydney, here we come! About the Foundation for Filipina Women's Network (FWN): "At FWN, a San Francisco-based nonprofit 501(c)(3), we imagine a world where Filipina women are CEOs, scientists, thought leaders, and change-makers—leaders in the public and private sectors of the economy. That’s the future we’re building. FWN is more than just an organization – we’re a revolution. Founded on a bold vision of Filipina disruptive leadership, FWN shines a spotlight on the Most Influential Filipina Women in the World Awardees. These aren’t just names on a list – they’re a global force of trailblazers who have shattered glass ceilings and transformed industries. We scour the planet, searching for Filipina women who have left their mark on the world stage. These women are the architects of change, from groundbreaking entrepreneurs to visionary policymakers." https://lnkd.in/equ-QHh2
We are committed to meeting patients where they are and training the next generation of culturally competent health care professionals. Read more about Latinx communities from Weitzman Institute below:
Today marks the end of National Hispanic Heritage Month, but our commitment to improve health outcomes is year-round . With one third of Hispanics preferring to see a Spanish-speaking health care provider, the recommendations are clear. Training a bilingual and culturally competent mental health workforce is key to better outcomes for Latinx communities. Read on: https://chc1.co/3NsFAhu
