HOUSTON, TX, UNITED STATES, May 4, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The National Psoriasis Foundation (NPF) will host its third annual Houston Soirée on Saturday, September 26, 2026, at the C. Baldwin Hotel in downtown Houston. The signature fundraising event will bring together community leaders, clinicians, researchers, advocates, and supporters in support of NPF’s mission to drive efforts to cure psoriatic disease and improve the lives of all those affected.
Guests will enjoy a cocktail reception, dinner program, inspirational remarks, and a celebratory post-program gathering. Funds raised support critical initiatives to improve patient outcomes and advance advocacy, education, and research.
A highlight of the evening will be the recognition of two distinguished emerging leaders whose work is advancing the field of dermatology and improving care for patients living with psoriatic disease: Oyetewa Asempa, M.D. and Harrison P. Nguyen, M.D.
Dr. Asempa is an Assistant Professor of Dermatology at Baylor College of Medicine and Director of the Skin of Color Clinic within Baylor’s Department of Dermatology.

His work integrates clinical care, research, and health economics to improve access, equity, and long-term patient outcomes. He serves as Principal Investigator on multiple clinical trials and holds academic appointments at the University of Houston College of Medicine and Baylor College of Medicine.
