Our founder, Dr. Rico-Perez, was born in Havana, Cuba, to parents who were teachers on November 8^th, 1940. As a child, he was fascinated by the functions of the human body and researching scientific topics. He was admitted to the University of Havana in pursuit of a medical degree. As a result of the unstable political climate in Cuba, the University closed and he fled the country.

 

Years later, Dr. Rico-Perez received a scholarship to finish his medical degree requirements at the Universidad Central del Este in the Dominican Republic. After graduating with honors in 1978, he started practicing as a physician in Miami. He was very active in communities around the United States and internationally, performing many hours of service and shedding light on important issues.
