<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">Hi Fellows: Adela Lente, M.D., HPF Class of 2018, is featured in a news release today in USA TODAY – futureofpersonalhealth.com.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">Dr. Lente, a member of the Isleta Pueblo community, is a general surgeon currently practicing emergency general surgery and trauma in El Paso and serves Chair of Surgical Specialties & Associate Professor
of Surgery at the Burrell College of Osteopathic Medicine in Las Cruces, New Mexico. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">As the article explains, “It was Dr. Lente’s own experiences struggling in an impoverished community with limited resources that inspired her to help others. She recognizes that too many Native Americans are
told they can’t succeed in college or a complicated career, and wants to change that. “It’s the ones that give up after they’re told they can’t succeed, those are the ones I’m in search of empowering.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
