Until the age of 10, Dr. Carla Moreira lived in Cape Verde, where her mother worked at a free clinic. Sometimes she made house calls, traversing the rocky terrain to see patients who had no access to the facility, and occasionally she took her daughter along with her.

Rhode Island College – Dr. Moriera’s alma mater – recently profiled this gifted surgeon.
