Dr. Lyssa Ochoa noticed a trend in her patients’ stories—many were traveling long distances for care, often facing challenges far beyond medical needs. In response, she opened the San Antonio Vascular and Endovascular Clinic (SAVE Clinic) to address the healthcare disparities in her community. Dr. Ochoa’s dedication goes beyond treatment—she’s an advocate, confidant, and mentor to those who need her most. Healthcare isn’t just about medical expertise; it’s about caring for people as whole individuals, and Dr. Ochoa is showing up for her patients in every way she can.

“So much about Echoes magazine is trying to elevate the voices of people whose stories might not be told or celebrated. If we are telling the stories of transformation and wholeness that people are carrying back to their communities, we want to hear it in their voice.”— Camille Hall-Ortega This issue of Echoes is about raising voices, whether that is through the launch of The Echoes Podcast. Or through the story of Dr. Ochoa who advocates for her patients. Or hearing from experts about loneliness and how to best parent Generation Z. Or hearing from Generation Z about their mental health challenges in school. Which story are you excited to read? Let us know in the comments!

A home is more than four walls—it’s about the people who live there. What if we brought kindness back to our communities? Instead of looking away, let’s lean in. Instead of complaints, let’s offer help. A simple act can mean everything to a neighbor in need. In the latest episode of The Echoes Podcast, hear from San Antonio Affordable Housing social worker, Elizabeth Cruz, who project manages the initiative called Project Rebuild. She helps rebuild communities with care, connection, and action. https://lnkd.in/gXrgiyNj
