The People's Doctor with Ray Altamirano - MD, Artist, Humanitarian & Founder Casa Salud Family Medicine Clinic, Ep #127

Peter O. Estévez Show

I am so inspired by my friend Dr. Ray Altamirano’s mission in providing accessible, affordable, transparent healthcare to the Latino community. He is part of Latin Talks, the San Antonio series, where he will be speaking on a panel this summer. Ray Altamirano MD is a first generation American. His parents came from Coahuila, Mexico to contribute and thrive in this great land. He is native of South Side San Antonio and a graduate of Harlandale High School c/o 1998, and Texas A&M Aggie c/o 2002. He is the founder of the Casa Salud Family Medicine Clinic, which is reinventing how people can access healthcare.

The healthcare system is broken. Health insurance companies and healthcare administrators' greed are the problem. At Casa Salud, they elected to exclude them and want to work directly with their patients. That is their way of contributing to the solution: making healthcare predictable, affordable and pure.
