Early-Career PA William Lara Aims to Provide Care to the Underserved Community in Rural Nevada

In the early 2000s, eight-year-old William Lara was diagnosed with a tumor in his lower back. He grew up in Mesquite, Nevada, where healthcare access was a challenge. Lara had to travel about an hour away for surgery and follow-up care. Now, having recently graduated from PA school, he has a long-term goal of returning to Mesquite to open a much-needed family practice to care for the underserved.
