NCCL Leader Eager to ‘fight the good fight’ for Patients

In the past two years, Florida has passed multiple laws that limit the care that Victoria Otano, MD, and other physicians can offer their patients.

“It’s easy to think about places like Florida and be like, ‘Oh, I never want to practice in Florida or Texas,’” she said. “At the same time, our patients need us here. We are a safe space for them. It's important that we continue to get involved and not turn our backs.”
