Kind. Funny. Ambitious. 😊That’s how people describe Gabriel - and it’s exactly the energy he brings to his work as a Patient Care Navigator serving Ventura & Santa Barbara Counties.
He believes community is about people uplifting one another. Whether he’s advocating for patients, helping break down stigmas around opioid use disorder, or connecting someone to the right resources, he shows up as a steady, familiar and friendly face. 😊
Gabriel says his biggest inspiration is his mother, who worked up to three jobs to support their family. That example continues to shape the way he shows up — for his patients, his team, and his community.
When he’s not working, you’ll find him fishing at the beach, exploring new cities and parks with his daughters, or cooking up something new in the kitchen. 🍳
We’re proud to spotlight Gabriel and the difference he’s making in Ventura & Santa Barbara counties! 💙
