Trailblazing Voices: SFLHCC President Liliam M. Lopez and Dr. Antonia Coello Novello at the USHCC National Convention |
SFLHCC President Liliam M. Lopez had the honor of attending the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (USHCC) National Convention. One of the highlights of this convention was the opportunity to meet Dr. Antonia Coello Novello, the trailblazing first woman and Hispanic Surgeon General of the United States, appointed during the Bush administration. Dr. Novello's presentation captivated the audience with her unyielding spirit, intelligence, and personable demeanor. Known for being blunt, direct, and witty, she shared insights from her remarkable career and life journey, inspiring attendees to delve into her book, "Duty Calls: Lessons Learned From an Unexpected Life of Service."
