What attracted you to CVCH:
I have always been passionate about caring for underserved communities through federally qualified health centers. During college and medical school, I volunteered in student-run clinics serving Latino communities, experiences that deepened my commitment to this work. A strong sense of calling led me to Yakima for family medicine residency, an invaluable experience which shaped me to become the physician I wanted to become. While in residency, I met my wife, Yovanna, in Wenatchee and quickly fell in love with the area, too. Both my training and life experiences guided me here, and because my values align closely with the culture at CVCH, joining the team felt like a natural choice.
