WASHINGTON, March 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- "With Secretary Becerra, the nation has the leader of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, that it needs to meet the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and who will bring equity to our nation's health and human services to ensure all have the opportunity to achieve their full potential. We welcome this historic confirmation and look forward to working with Secretary Becerra to ensure the best health for all," said Dr. Jane L. Delgado, President and CEO of the National Alliance for Hispanic health, the nation's leading Hispanic health advocacy group.
