Our story is the story of other women, refugees and health professionals. (nuestra historia es parecida a la historia de otras mujeres, refugiadas y profesionales de salud)

We originated from a "country" where the "public" and centralized health system conflict with health determinants. Factors such as physical, personal, social, intellectual, environmental, emotional, financial, and spiritual aspects have posed risks for diseases affecting many communities and individuals. We have witnessed this firsthand as citizens and health professionals across various countries and health systems. Initially, after graduating as medical doctors, we worked as family specialists in our community and instructed first and second-year medical students. Later, we completed a postgraduate course in emergency medicine and participated in medical missions in Venezuela, alongside thousands of professionals, in diagnostic centers located in remote areas. There, we provided emergency health services to children, women, adults, and pregnant individuals, treating various endemic diseases such as Chagas, dengue, TB, meningo-encephalitis, as well as issues like domestic violence, child abuse, malnutrition, and diabetes with complications, and complex respiratory infections. We endured physical and mental abuse directed at health professionals by both the Cuban and Venezuelan governments. However, love triumphed over hate, leading us to create a drama or theater with children to communicate messages about disease transmission cycles and prevention to remote communities.

Thanks to the USA, we were welcomed as refugees and later worked and continue education in epidemiology research, public health, and other private health institutions. This is another story where we've observed, investigated, and learned that in a complex health system with numerous options, wellness heavily depends on self-care for both patients and health professionals. We have also observed that this complexity can occasionally pose challenges for health professionals and the healthcare system. We realized that no one can take away your knowledge and experience. These social elements motivated us to create this non-profit organization as we continue to growing as individuals and health professionals.

In summary, this organization's mission is to empower refugees, immigrants, international graduates, families with teenagers, children with disabilities, and those facing cancer. They achieve this through a holistic and functional approach using medical and nursing courses, stories, books, art, therapy groups, and up-to-date information. We strongly support an organized and filtered immigration, since this can affect a complete country, health and educational system, and also a better approach to achieve an stable immigrant situation.

Nosotros venimos de un "país" donde "el sistema de salud público" y centralizado ha tenido contradicciones con los determinantes de salud.  Factores como físicos, personal, social, intelectual, ambiental, emocional, financiero y espiritual han constituido riesgos de enfermedades afectando varias comunidades, individuos e incluso otros países. Nosotros hemos sido testigo de esto, como ciudadanos y como profesionales de la salud, prestando servicios y trabajando en varios sistemas de salud. Inicialmente, después de graduarnos como médicos, trabajamos como especialistas familiares en nuestra comunidad, e instruimos estudiantes de medicina de primer y segundo año. Mas tarde, completamos un postgrado en emergencia y prestamos servicios de salud junto a miles de profesionales, en centros diagnósticos que estaban vigilados y seguidos por los "gobiernos" de Cuba y Venezuela. Sin embargo, el amor triunfo sobre el odio y nos hizo crear in in grupo de teatro de niños que transmitían mensajes de salud y prevención a varias comunidades.

Gracias a E.U.A, fuimos bienvenidos como refugiados, y después trabajamos y continuamos en epidemiología, investigación, y educación. Esta ha sido otro reto, donde estamos observando y aprendiendo como en un sistema de salud complejo el bienestar y salud también depende de el auto-cuidado. Hemos enfrentado varias barreras, y estos aspectos nos han impulsado a concebir esta organización.
