Dientes Community Dental Care is proud to announce the appointment of Alexandra Navarro to its Board of Directors. This change represents a strategic shift in how Dientes is governed, striving to include both community members and patients. Ms. Navarro is the organization’s first patient Board member and will add a valuable perspective to improve the care Dientes provides their 10,000 patients.
Ms. Navarro works as a coach in the areas of corporate leadership, workplace/life balance and Latino social responsibility advocacy.
A former executive for a multinational agriculture corporation and an author of several books about diversity and work-place balance, Ms. Navarro helps assess business needs in order to maintain productivity and high motivation in times of change.
She has always been passionate about the importance of oral hygiene. Her father was a dentist who taught her the skills to practice great oral health. When her husband lost his job a few years ago, she was fortunate to find dental services for her family through Dientes.
Ms. Navarro commented on why joining the Board is important to her, “I believe that everyone should help their community, and this is my part. As a daughter of a dentist from Colombia, I look forward to sharing Dientes’ services with our Latino community here in Santa Cruz County.”
