How can medicine and community outreach work together to create lasting social impact?
In this episode of From Girl to Great, our ambassador Sofi Smith is our guest host. She speaks with Dr. Raquel Miranda Padilla, a medical doctor and community outreach leader in Costa Rica. Dr. Padilla shares how her medical training led her beyond the clinic into community, humanitarian, and global outreach work, highlighting the power of compassion and purpose in healthcare.
Alana’s Key Takeaways
- Purpose doesn’t require a straight path. Impact comes from staying true to your values, even when life takes unexpected turns.
- Healthcare goes beyond hospitals. Medical knowledge can be a powerful tool in community and humanitarian settings.
- Humanity matters most. True fulfillment in healthcare comes from compassion and service, not status or money.
