For more than 36 years, Reymundo Espinoza has led an effort to expand affordable health care for some of the poorest people living in the South Bay.
Long before he opened new doors to quality community healthcare, Espinoza endured some tough times growing up in Coachella Valley."My mom, when I was 10, was in a mental institution," Espinoza said."My sister became my mom, then she died at 20 as a result of toxemia."
He transformed anger to hope, graduating from Stanford with a political science degree before undergoing graduate studies in hospital administration at Cal Berkeley."Health care is a means to another end, which is keeping people healthy so they can fulfill their dreams," Espinoza said. Today, Gardner's two mobile clinics and community health centers provide one-stop affordable services to more than 43,000 low income folks who are insured and uninsured."He's been able to make decisions under uncertainty. That for me is the mark of a true leader," Lozano said.
