From a very young age, Gina Nazario knew she wanted to dedicate her life to medicine and to helping others. That passion began after her father suffered a heart attack. At the time, children were not allowed into hospital rooms during emergencies. When she couldn’t go in to see her father, she did what any 4-year-old would do.
She made a bold declaration.
“I remember telling the doctor that I wanted to become a doctor, so I would never be denied access to see my father,” Nazario said.
The moment shaped the course of her life.
