“Health disparities have long existed in Bexar County, and those disparities are even more pronounced in unincorporated areas,” Guerrero-Guajardo stated in a news release. “I sincerely appreciate the support of the county manager and the court, and I am confident that we can create real impact on health and wellness for individuals and families — and be in an excellent position to respond for the people of Bexar County if and when the next public health emergency occurs.
“Some services were preventative care, but most care was only available when you were very sick,” she said. “I know what it means to lack access to care and to have limited options for creating a healthy life.” Guerrero-Guajardo previously served as chief information officer for Workforce Solutions Alamo. She’ll start her work with the county on Nov. 10.
