“In an effort to remove cultural and communication barriers to quality health care in New York City’s Hispanic community, Beth Israel Medical Center recently launched The Latino Health Initiative, one of the first hospital-based programs in the metropolitan region committing staff and resources to specifically address the health needs of the Latino market.
Hector Castro, MD, founder of Itzamna Medical Center, the first private physician-driven clinic in New York to target the Latino community, has been named Director of the program. “Dr. Castro is uniquely qualified to lead Beth Israel’s Latino Health Initiative,” said David J. Shulkin, MD, President and CEO of Beth Israel. “He was among the first physicians to address the many health challenges facing Latinos when he founded Itzamna five years ago. These efforts have provided a blueprint for Beth Israel’s Latino Health Initiative, and he is the ideal person to lead it for us.”"
