Meet Raelene, a vital part of our dental registration team for over a year! 👋 Her perfect day outside the clinic involves grabbing coffee and exploring or trying something new.

Meet Esmeralda! 👋 Esmeralda Perez is a dedicated Community Health Worker who graduated from Howard College in May 2023. Originally from Del Rio, Texas, Esmeralda's upbringing in a family of seven instilled in her the importance of advocating for those in need. She moved to San Angelo five years ago and is passionate about working with all patients, especially expecting mothers, teen families, and children. She finds great fulfillment in assisting the Spanish-speaking population who often feel unheard due to language barriers. On sunny days, she loves going to the pool with her kids and cherishes quiet moments watching movies with ice cream. Esmeralda chose to work at La Esperanza Clinic because of its emphasis on preventative care and health education. She believes that empowering people with knowledge and resources to manage their health proactively is key to building a healthier community. The clinic's dedication to providing accessible, affordable services to underserved populations aligns perfectly with her values. You can find Esmeralda working at our Lake View Clinic!
