Dr. Condessa Curley dedicates herself to the people of Los Angeles and Africa who can’t afford medical services. She has created health care, education and assistance programs that improve and save lives.

Curley, who received her medical degree from UC Davis, believes that the orphaned children, AIDS patients and other underserved people she assists can teach her about the human spirit. To her, it is a reward in itself to reach out to those who are in the greatest need.
