In honor of Latino Heritage Month, Healthcare Leaders of New York (HLNY) is proud to spotlight Latino healthcare leaders who are advancing health equity, strengthening healthcare systems, and creating meaningful change in the communities they serve.

This week, we are honored to spotlight Alina Moran, FACHE, FABC, Chief Executive Officer of NYC Health + Hospitals | Elmhurst.

As a proud Latina, first-generation college student, and daughter of Puerto Rican parents, Alina brings her lived experience and cultural identity into her leadership. Her commitment to empathy, trust, and health equity drives her work to build stronger teams and ensure that every patient receives equitable, high-quality care with dignity and respect.

Alina reminds us that our cultural identities and lived experiences are not limitations but powerful assets that shape how we lead and serve others.

Thank you, Alina, for your dedication to advancing health equity, championing inclusive leadership, and making a meaningful difference in healthcare. We celebrate your leadership and contributions during Latino Heritage Month and beyond!
