Dr. Naomi Breckon is a family medicine physician and co-founder of East Bay Health.

Dr. Breckon developed her passion for supporting the under-insured population after experiencing a period without health insurance following graduation from UCLA. Her dedication to health equity was further shaped during her service as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Maternal and Child Health in Guatemala, where she witnessed firsthand the impact of limited access to care. In medical school at Tulane, Dr. Breckon worked to improve access to high quality healthcare by helping run a student-led free clinic for the Spanish-speaking population and volunteering at homeless shelters providing Hepatitis C and HIV testing and counseling. 

Now, Dr. Breckon created East Bay Health so that her community has doctors who have the time to partner with and support their patients, regardless of their insurance status. She hopes for a future where the norm in the U.S. healthcare system is that every person has access to a physician when they need one. 

It is an eye-opening healthcare model. Let us learn something about it.
