“As one who personally experienced segregated health care,” says Dr. Judith Martin Cadore (b. 1957), “I do not want any of my patients to ever have to wonder if they are receiving the best possible care, feel too intimidated to ask questions, or be denied proper care because of their ethnic or economic backgrounds.” Dr. Cadore is a family practitioner in Texas, where she was born and raised. “I provide hope and access for many who have lost faith in or been ignored by the medical community in my small town and the surrounding rural area. I have patients who drive 50 to 100 miles to see a doctor they can talk with. Health care disparities are even more marked in rural areas. Eliminating this reality is, in part, my mission.”
