PRESS RELEASE
For immediate release — Boston, October 17, 2026
November 20, 21, and 22, 2026 — Three Days of Science, Community, and Hope
To the media — radio, television, and social media — of Boston, Massachusetts, New York, and the Dominican Republic:
The Hispanic Association of Health Professionals, Inc. NY (AHPSI) and the Colegio Médico Dominicano, New England–Boston Chapter, invite all media outlets to be part of a historic event: the VIII Annual International Medical Congress, to be held November 20, 21, and 22, 2026, in Boston, Massachusetts, marking the 25th anniversary of the New England–Boston Chapter of the Colegio Médico Dominicano.
For three days, physicians, nurses, researchers, and health professionals from the United States, the Dominican Republic, and Latin America will gather to share science, technology, and a vocation of service. It will be a congress where medicine looks at itself and transforms: more up to date, more technological, and more human.
A Historic Fact That Fills Us with Pride
The Colegio Médico Dominicano, New England–Boston Chapter, is the only association of Dominican professionals in Massachusetts, and part of the only Dominican guild with international chapters: the Colegio Médico Dominicano. The Colegio, headquartered in Santo Domingo and founded on August 18, 1891, has 135 years of history; its New England–Boston Chapter celebrates 25 years; and AHPSI, which co-organizes this congress, represents 37 years of service to the community.
