Access comes down to feeling heard, especially in health care – it can be so hard to articulate how you are feeling, even in your own language. Now think about that across language and cultural barriers. Someone who is heard, even if we can’t treat the condition at Casa, goes a long way to getting them where they need to be. This is the magic of Casa.
– Diego Abente, Casa President & CEO
