Meet the TrueCare Team: Kelsey Carrio, MD
Dr. Carrio has a genuine passion for serving her community. She loves making patients feel comfortable and goes above and beyond to ensure that our care is compassionate – a vital component of our culture.
“One of my biggest motivations when I come to work is to make every day a new day to succeed,” she said, “and I’m always motivated to provide health equity to patients. We meet people where they are, speak their language, provide compassionate care, and actually listen and respect each patients’ voice.”
What Inspired You to Pursue a Career in Community Medicine?
When we sat down to speak with Dr. Carrio, her passion for community medicine was palpable, and it was immediately clear how important her community is for her.
“Community medicine is a huge passion of mine, and I’ve worked with this community for several years now,” she said. “What I love about it is it’s really impactful to take care of those that need access to quality health care the most but don’t have it. It’s fulfilling to provide that access,” she added.
This commitment to her community can, in many ways, be tied to her background.
“The underserved and Hispanic population truly speaks to my heart,” she said, “and living in this community myself, I see my patients outside of the clinic, whether it’s at the grocery store or the post office, and I love seeing them love the care we provide. Seeing their health in their day-to-day lives reinforces how important the work we do is – that’s why I got into this field. When you are an active member of the community like we are at TrueCare, you gain a deeper appreciation of the work you do and why it matters. The evidence of why our mission is so important is the healthy, smiling faces all around you.”
What’s it Like Being a Lead Clinician at TrueCare?
Dr. Carrio thoroughly enjoys the work she does as a lead clinician at TrueCare, citing the encouragement she has received from leadership and her colleagues. One of the primary reasons she enjoys her position is the opportunity to continuously grow in her career.
“Being a lead clinician at TrueCare has really shaped my career,” she explained, “because I’ve had the chance to listen to my peers and learn from them to make great changes and improve health care outcomes for our patients.”
Dr. Carrio is a shining example of this opportunity for professional development. After just about three and a half years working with us, she is now the Associate Program Adult Coordinator and beamed with excitement as she described her experience.
“Working at TrueCare has really given me an opportunity to grow,” she said, “because our leadership has been phenomenal in supporting growth and development, and they’re always looking for people to move up the ladder – which could mean you!”
What’s Your Favorite Thing About Working at TrueCare?
Ultimately, however, what Dr. Carrio finds the most fulfilling about working with our organization is the care we provide for communities that are too often underserved.
“My favorite thing about working here is definitely the passion the entire team has for supporting the community,” she said. “We’re a mission-driven organization, so it’s really important to have everyone aligned in their values. It feels like we’re all a part of something really special every day we come to work. That’s pretty rare,” she added.
She says that the mobile units we deploy to help those who lack access to adequate health care is one of the most fulfilling parts of her role at TrueCare.
“One of our great assets here at TrueCare is the ability to use mobile units to access the community in places that are hard to reach,” she said. “We believe health care should be accessible to anyone who needs it, and providing that support is incredibly meaningful,” she added.
How Does TrueCare Motivate Their Team?
One aspect of her role that she likes the most is the opportunity to motivate and inspire the team.
“Everyone at TrueCare is always trying to motivate each other to do great work – that’s really important, especially in a field that can be hectic,” she said. “The thing that is said on a daily basis to motivate the team is, ‘Remember our mission, take care of patients to the best of our ability, and do it with a smile.’ It really helps to have these little reminders, no matter what role you are in,” she said.
