We are proud to announce our first publication outside of medical literature:
A Prescription for Faith
Description
From the Peruvian coastline of the 1940s to modern sunny Southern California, “A Prescription for Faith” follows the life of a prominent cardiologist deeply devoted to his family, his patients, and his Catholic faith. The joys and sorrows inherent in a life of service are on full display in this riveting and truthful account of one man’s journey, and the many ways in which his strong Catholic faith has guided him. “A Prescription for Faith” takes us across the world as we see the ways faith informs decisions Jose Caceres makes throughout his high pressure career in Cardiology.
