The People behind the scene

Meet my team

Camila Calderón, MD

Founder & CEO

Hi, I’m Camila Calderón, MD – a board-certified emergency medicine physician based in Texas.

I was born in Ecuador and immigrated to the United States with my family in 1999. As an immigrant, I’ve seen firsthand how difficult it can be to navigate the U.S. healthcare system – especially with language, culture, or lack of access to information as barriers.

I completed by undergraduate and medical school training at the University of Louisville, followed by emergency medicine residency and a clinical ultrasound fellowship at the University of Texas in Houston. I currently practice emergency medicine in Houston, where I care for patients from all walks of life – often in their most vulnerable moments.

This blog is my way of giving back – by creating a space where the Latino community, especially younger generations, can find clear, trustworthy health information in a language and tone that feels familiar. Whether it’s understanding how to access preventative care, knowing when to seek help, or just learning how to take charge of your health, I’m here to make it easier.

Your health matters. Your voice matters. Welcome to my blog.

Mission Statement

My mission is to empower the Latino community in the United States – especially younger generations – with clear, culturally relevant, and trustworthy health information. As a board-certified emergency medicine physician and immigrant, I’ve seen how a lack of access and understanding can stand in the way of preventative care and better health outcomes.

Through this platform, I aim to bridge the gap between medicine and everyday life by breaking down complex medical topics, answering real-life questions, and helping you feel confident in your health decisions. Everyone deserves to understand their body and their options when it comes to medical care.

I am dedicated to making a difference in the lives of Latinos by providing comprehensive health literacy resources. My initiatives focus on education, outreach, and community engagement to ensure everyone has the information they need to make informed health decisions.

  • Community Approach: This platform is directed to the needs of the Latino community. Information is tailored to address specific health challenges in this population.
  • Accessibility: Information and materials are both in English and Spanish assuring everyone has access.
