Serving the safety net community

Immigrant communities and underserved populations experience disparities in care due to high poverty, limited access, cultural or linguistic differences, and other concerns. In this episode, Dr. Gordon Moore talks with Iliana Gilman, the former chief executive officer of El Buen Samaritano, an organization serving the Latino immigrant community in Austin, Tex. With a team dedicated to breaking down barriers to care, El Buen Samaritano is improving outcomes by tackling social determinants of health.

"What allowed us to get past all the hurdles was simply how invested we were in the community and the people that we were serving. And that always pushed us....we just wanted to make sure we were doing everything possible to get them the best level of care."
— Iliana Gilman, Principal, Health Management Associates
