Professor, Medical Director, Immigrant Health- Anschutz Campus – Sch of Med – Hospital Medicine
Dr. Cervantes is the Director of Immigrant Health and an Associate Professor in the Department of Medicine at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. Dr. Cervantes led nationally recognized research demonstrating the deep disparities faced by undocumented individuals living with kidney failure who rely on emergency dialysis (dialysis only after presenting critically ill). Her work catalyzed the promulgation of regulation allowing undocumented immigrants in Colorado to receive outpatient dialysis. Following this defining experience, Dr. Cervantes’ work has focused on eliminating structural racism to reduce kidney health disparities through community-based participatory research, mixed methods, and community-based clinical trials.
