A little girl watches her parents practice medicine in Cuba, emigrates to Miami and grows into a fifth generation physician who refuses to accept a health care system that treats some patients as second class. Today, Dr. Ana Viamonte Ros teaches future doctors, leads care for people experiencing homelessness and still walks into every clinic with one powerful question: Who feels invisible here and why. In this new episode of Working Healthcare, guest Ana of Camillus Health and Florida International University and host Meredith Hirsh move from Medicaid to board rooms to shelter clinics and back again, revealing how “coverage” often fails to equal access and how subtle bias creeps into exam rooms, hospital corridors and payer policies. Ana explains her “platinum rule” for patient care, the moral costs of first class - coach medicine, and the quiet courage it takes to demand dignity for patients who sleep in shelters, under bridges or in crowded apartments.
