Caring for Three Generations: How Rosa's Family Found a Medical Home at AltaMed
From her very first visit, 79-year-old grandmother Rosa formed a deep connection with her AltaMed home clinic. For over 20 years, the Paramount clinic has served as a trusted medical home for three generations of her family.
The AltaMed Paramount Clinic has been there for her family through every chapter—providing essential prenatal care for her daughter, welcoming her grandson into the world, and helping Rosa manage her diabetes.

“We’re very familiar with our doctor and nurses there, and they treat us so kindly—they’re always very respectful and provide efficient care,” says Rosa.
With the support of her primary care physician, Dr. Khoury, Rosa has access to a comprehensive care team, including a diabetes specialist, cardiologist, podiatrist, nephrologist, pain management specialist, and physical therapist. They provide her with the essential resources she needs to manage diabetes-related health complications and receive regular preventative care.
Although Rosa still faces health challenges, the care she receives helps her achieve a better quality of life.
I find joy in my kitchen, cooking for my family, especially dishes like chile colorado, tamales, and menudo. There’s always something to do.
