Patricia has decades of experience in the health care industry in varied roles, including individual provider, medical group and hospital contracting, multistate network development, national recruitment/contracting of mental health providers, and creating the state’s first network of complementary/alternative health care providers.

Her superior bilingual skills and a firsthand knowledge of the cultural issues in the Hispanic community, have allowed her to relate to the needs of underserved community groups. This opportunity feeds her personal passion but more importantly, her sense of responsibility to ensure that language barriers and gaps in communication do not adversely affect the outcome for those communities as a whole in the benefits marketplace.

As a member of the Word & Brown family she is focused on bringing the wealth and depth of services that her organization offers to agents and brokers in the Sacramento region.
