November Member Spotlight - Dr. Alina Alvarez

"Even as a young girl, I knew that I wanted to be an agent of change in medicine. At the age of 15, I became a Certified Nursing Assistant with my first position at Larkin Palm Springs General Hospital. I was a full-time student in high school, at the time, and would study in-between bathing and feeding the hospital patients; many of whom would call me “Alinita”! It would be 20 years later that I returned to this same hospital in Hialeah to complete my medical training in family medicine."
