ROYAL CARE
sends deepest
condolences
to Urban Health Plan on
the loss of a great leader,
Dr. Richard Izquierdo.
Dr. Richard Izquierdo
October 23, 1929 - June 28, 2020
Dr. Izquierdo was an inspiring leader who fought for
healthcare equality and education access for all,
especially the Latino population in the Bronx. We will
remember his altruism and drive to create a strong
healthcare system for his community through Urban
Health Plan. Dr. Izquierdo also introduced
underprivileged youth to health and science
education through the founding of the Dr. Richard
Izquierdo Health & Science Charter School. His legacy
will live on through his daughter, Ms. Paloma
Izquierdo-Hernandez who holds his passion, vision
and kind spirit and serves as President and Chief
Executive Officer of this visionary institution as well
as the Urban Health Plan health centers.
