Community Health Activism
Dr. Calderón continued to serve indigent communities in NYC during his ensuing five years in medical practice in the Bronx and Brooklyn, NY. During this time a high portion of his patients were underinsured or uninsured, and he decided not to bill uninsured or collected co-payments from underinsured patients because it was known that to do so would dissuade them from returning for follow-up.
