Bio:
Nuria Perez Gordillo began her career in healthcare more than a decade ago when she was hired as a medical assistant in an obstetrician-gynecologist (OB/GYN) office. “I worked my way up from a medical assistant to a licensed practical nurse to a registered nurse to a nurse practitioner,” she says. “I’m blessed and thankful to have done that full circle from being an assistant to now being a provider.” She is proud to work at a community health center that provides care for patients from all backgrounds and walks of life. As a fluent Spanish speaker, sharing a common language is one of the ways she connects with patients. “That connection is so important,” she says. “I don’t think I’ll ever get over walking into the room to see a Spanish-speaking patient and saying, ‘Hola, buenas tardes,’ and seeing the relief in their face as they realize we share that language.” Outside of work, Perez Gordillo likes dancing, Latin music, drawing, reading, going to the beach, and playing basketball and soccer.
