José Gregorio Hernández was a prominent Venezuelan physician and a member of the Secular Franciscan Order. Born in Isnotú in 1864, he pursued medical studies in Caracas and later in Paris, specializing in fields such as bacteriology and pathology. He was widely recognized for his medical expertise and his charitable service to the poor, often providing free treatment and medicine. Following his death in 1919, his reputation for holiness grew, leading to his beatification in 2021 and his eventual canonization as a saint in 2025.
