HEALTH
Our Mission
The goal is simple: keep families healthy, catch problems early, and prevent avoidable emergency room visits — through medicine built on relationship, dignity, and trust.
Founded and led by Dr. Maria, a volunteer physician, Condor Health brings unhurried, relationship-centered medical care directly to the people who grow this community's food — at no cost, with no insurance required, and no documentation ever requested. Care comes to the patient: at home or wherever they feel comfortable, on their schedule, with real time to listen and to care for the whole person over time.
Condor Health works hand-in-hand with trusted local grassroots organizations that have served this community for years. These partnerships are how patients find us — through people and places they already know and trust.
Meet Dr. Maria
Dr. Maria is a board-certified family physician with twenty years of experience caring for patients and leading medical teams in Southern California. She attended Western University for medical school and completed a residency in Family Medicine at University of Minnesota in Duluth. She holds fellowship training in integrative medicine from the Andrew Weil Center at the University of Arizona and contemplative medicine from the New York Zen Center. Her medicine is built on time, trust, and the whole person — and on the belief that the best care should reach the people the system most often leaves out. With Condor Health, she brings that care directly into homes across the Santa Barbara County, as a volunteer, one family at a time.
