After studying medicine at the University of Guadalajara, Lily relocated to the Yakima Valley with her family. Over the last 16 years, Lily has diligently worked to educate health professionals and medical students on migrant health issues and also provided much needed bilingual health education services to Latino residents.

Lily has also authored multiple public service announcements, educational materials and articles for El Sol de Yakima, organized quarterly health fairs that reach over 3,000 residents each year and recently initiated a collaborative campaign between Yakima Valley Memorial Hospital, Centers for Disease Control and Hispanic Access focused on prevention, detection and treatment of breast and colon cancers. Through her work and advocacy, she has become an invaluable community resource.
Congratulations Lily on being named a 2012 Health Champion.
