professional life from 1953 until his death in 2006. Throughout his career as a
family practitioner and educator he worked to bring health care to the poor and
underserved. In his earlier years he worked in private practice in the Phoenix area
primarily serving a needy Hispanic population. In 1972 Dr. Ortiz moved to Tucson and
established a mobile health program based out of the University of Arizona’s Rural
Health Office which provided health care to many rural and underserved areas in
southeastern Arizona. Areas of particular interest to him included community
oriented primary care, migrant laborer health care, health education and folk
medicine including herbal folk remedies and curanderismo. This collection contains
Ortiz correspondence from over a 35-year period (1969-2004) as well as documents
corresponding to each of the topics mentioned above including extensive
documentation relating to the Mobile Health Program. The collection also includes
Dr. Ortiz’s U.S. Surgeon General Medallion. | | | | Repository: | University of Arizona Libraries, Special Collections | | | | Subjects: | Community Health Services | Medical Education | Health Services Accessibility | Medically Underserved Areas | Traditional medicine | Mobile Health Units | Primary Health Care | Rural Health Services | | | | Similar Items: | Find Similar Guides |
