I Am Speaking is a podcast focused on the lives of “othered” Americans. The goal of this podcast is to hear, share, and amplify the voices of Americans--both citizens and noncitizens-who have felt like outsiders in their homes. Hosted by first-generation Indian-American sisters, I Am Speaking highlights the unique experiences of people who feel or have been marginalized by the current US cultural hegemony in their communities.

Dr. Javier Gomez is a cardiologist at John H. Stroger Hospital, also known as Cook County Hospital. He immigrated to the US from Colombia to train and specialize, and then he stayed. His story of how he came to Cook County Hospital is fascinating. The reasons why he stays are inspiring.
Javier has an undeniable charm. He’s warm and funny, but he’s also sharp and deeply passionate about treating his patients. He takes time to understand his patients as people, not just symptoms, and he teaches fellows and residents to see them accordingly as well.
Our conversation with Javier was like a warm blanket. We felt safe and taken care of, exactly how you’d want to feel when you are in the hospital. Dr. Gomez’s patients are lucky to have him at the helm of their care.
Enjoy our latest installment of I Am Speaking w/ Expert Voices: Dr. Javier Gomez.
