Raul’s “awesome work ethic and positive attitude” are just a couple of reasons for his selection as Provider of the Year. He always credits others for his success and is very grateful for the help he receives from his care team and other providers at the Wahluke Clinic.

Raul’s parents were farm workers; he also worked in the fields when he was young. He has a deep and abiding respect for his patients. They know he cares about them by the way he treats them. Raul’s favorite part of his job occurs right after he enters a patient’s room. He likes to sit down and talk to the patient for a little bit – just connect with them about what’s going on in their life before talking about their medical condition.
