She highlights a 20-year gap in life expectancy between San Antonio neighborhoods just miles apart. This issue has complicated roots—including historical practices like redlining—and today, some communities are seeing higher rates of diabetes, amputations, and other chronic illnesses. Through her work at the SAVE Clinic, Dr. Ochoa advocates fiercely for equitable healthcare, investing in underserved neighborhoods, and offering compassionate, accessible care. Join us as we discuss why true community health means caring for our neighbors.🔗 Subscribe to Echoes Magazine for free: EchoesMagazine.orgEpisode Notes:Echoes Magazine feature on Dr. Ochoa: “What My Patients Are Facing Is Beyond Medical Need”Know Your Neighbor: “Making San Antonio” with Dr. Christine Drennon of Trinity UniversityLaity Lodge: “Becoming a Beloved Community” by Michelle Lugalia-HollonSAVE Clinic (San Antonio Vascular and Endovascular Clinic) founded by Dr. Lyssa OchoaDr. Roberto Treviño and the National Diabetes Prevention ProgramU.S. Department of Health and Human Services: Social Determinants of Health frameworkSan Antonio Report: Southside economic growth offers opportunity to work toward healthy equitySan Antonio Report: Medical group ordered to pay $8M for Medicare fraud to lay off employees, close locationsSouth Bexar County Medical Needs Assessment Report 2023San Antonio Express-News: Losing Limbs to a Terrible DiseaseCBS Morning News: “Less about people and more about profits”: Investors’ role in closure of San Antonio Hospital Under ScrutinyProduction Team:Written and produced by Camille Hall-Ortega, Rob Stennett, and Marcus GoodyearEdited by Rob Stennett and Kim StoneExecutive Producers: Patton...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/6Eotx3BgFj8dDshzTJrinC8ofahO8kcvqmuHPfEVOF8/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9hYTRj/Nzk1YjQ2YjkwZDYy/MDhiYzJjNGFlZTQy/NjU0Zi5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
