Bio
Dr. Norma Villalon's path to medicine reflects a journey of perseverance and community service. Born and raised in rural Guanajuato, Mexico, her early years were shaped by strong family bonds and a deep appreciation for community care, despite financial challenges. Before immigrating to the United States at 18, she dedicated herself to adult education through INEA, teaching literacy and basic education to members of her community. This early experience fostered her commitment to serving diverse populations and understanding their unique needs. As a first-generation professional from an immigrant background, Dr. Villalon brings a unique perspective to medicine, informed by her profound understanding of underserved communities. Her journey from a small Mexican village to becoming a physician exemplifies the power of determination and the importance of accessible healthcare.
