A fellow who disappeared from my workplace. His name is Estefanny Casas. We work with a Richmond clinic, in the Bay Area, until a Cavalier Snip from the Federal Budget Gutwar American volunteer program.
Casas is one of the 10 American health partners in the organization where I take care of patients and teaches doctors-in-training. In our frequent shortcomings and excess clinics, Casas brings many blood pressure tasks to reminding calls of my patients. Now that he is gone, we all feel lost.
The American website says that my organization has received $ 250,000 for this year’s fund cycle to cover each volunteer and cost of a program supervisor. In other words, an amount equal to a typical coastal corporation is funded by a year of service value, education and career development for 10 young and their supervisors. Hardly a boondoggle. In the country, Americans support the work of more than 32,000 volunteers each year.
“I still shocked,” Casas told me when I arrived at his house several days ago. He was preparing for a common workday when the word came from his site supervisor that their American program was over. “No one of us is there for money,” Casas said. “We all have it to serve.”
I am angry with the daily notice of radical cuts to our health care system. Billions of dollars lost from research, withdrawing thousands of public health workers, the whole divisions eliminated by control centers and prevention and prevention and THE NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION,, suggested rollbacks to Medicare and Medicaid benefits. But the night’s disappearance of Casas actually hit the house.
Secretary of Health and Man Service, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who campaigned “often used the metaphors to describe how he had to resolve our chronic army.
Casas grew up in the Iron Triangle in Richidmonds, Califts., A general class of class surrounding our clinic. He went to local schools where he knew he loved community and biology service. He was the first of his family who ended high school and then college, which leads to Sonoome State biology. During college, Casas has many health challenges. Many family members have been diagnosed with conditional health conditions. “It all makes me want to work in health care,” he said. But with some models of paper or connection, his professional road is difficult to imagine.
“The Americans strengthened my dream and opened the doors for me I couldn’t open myself,” Casas said. Inspired to see our clinic how to change regular life in life, he hopes to be a family advocate to prevent or reverse their serious health condition.
In our clinic, Casas helped medwives and family doctors positioned and facilitated groups for pregnant women. He enrolled in patients for significant services such as Snap and WIC and often given random acts of kindness. (I looked at his help with an older patient looking for veterinarian services for his support and patients about the Department of Family Medion Colloquium.
He also credited Americans for his own health progress: “I do not lead to fruit and veggie bowls.” He began to implement the changes we recommend to our patients and notice a positive difference in his blood sugar.
Through my tally, Casas has given great health for $ 20,000-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-year investment.
Ivan Siguez, one of the family medicine residents I presided over our training program, also got his start to America. Like Casas, he was the first of his family to go to college and served as a group of American health in his neighborhood in central Los Angeles. He also credited the program for opening the doors and managing him to the main care.
Due to the growing lack of Primary care clinics, Wonders in the Iniguez to take care of “Silver Tsunami,” millions of boomers with growing health needs.
“America is a pipeline program for me and for other people who entered health care workers. They went to places where we needed them,” Peniguez told me. “Why did they take it? If they want to solve the country’s care problems, they need to put a lot of money in America.”
Clinic and staff work in community clinics for non-clothes populations even burned or becomes hardcore optimists. We show each day to celebrate the victories of our patients, even less, and dispensitive to a large dose of hope with our most standard prescriptions. Since Casas’s disappearance, this is the same disruption that positively prevent me from President Trump and his administration will return to our Americans. We all depend on them to help make America healthy again.
