Thank You for Supporting 2026 PNASD Halika Fest! CLICK Here for pictures and videos from 2026 PNASD Halika Fest What an incredible and historic day during Filipino-American Month for the Philippine Nurses Association of San Diego (PNASD)! Ahead of World Mental Health Day, we are honored and proud to have served as the main host of a meaningful free community event, 2026 PNASD Halika Fest at beautiful Balboa Park in San Diego last October 3, 2026, bringing people together to raise awareness about mental health, reduce stigma, promote wellness, and connect our community with valuable mental health resources. This event was a powerful reminder that mental health is health and that through education, compassion, connection, and community, we can make a difference. A heartfelt THANK YOU (Salamat) to everyone who helped make this event such a tremendous success!
As Filipino and Filipino-American nurses, we are proud to continue breaking barriers, building bridges, promoting health equity, and uplifting our community. That day, we celebrated not only an event, but the power of community, compassion, culture, and collective action. Together, we are making mental health a priority. Together, we are making a difference. Together, we are making history. Mabuhay ang Philippine Nurses Association of San Diego! -Jay Larrosa President, 2026 to 2028 Philippine Nurses Association of San Diego County, Inc. |
