Nydia Justiniano Ramos, Director of Clinic Operations
My husband and I moved here from Puerto Rico in 2008 to give our family better opportunities and a better future.
I earned an accounting degree from a university in Puerto Rico, but quickly found that language barriers caused a delay in my pursuit of an accounting career in the United States.
Like many Hispanic Americans, I took whatever work I could get. However, I was passionate about doing so much more,
so I decided not to let anything stop me.
I took English classes at night and on my lunch breaks.
Today, as Director of Clinic Operations at one of the fastest growing chiropractic/ medical clinics on the Gulf Coast, I know
that God has blessed me by placing me in a position that utilizes not only my education but also my heartfelt passion
to help others. At Southern Regional,
Dr. Keenum’s mission is that care for every person is a top priority. One of the ways Southern Regional does this is by embracing the Hispanic community and other individuals that would not otherwise seek out chiropractic care.
My role at Southern Regional Chiropractic and Rehabilitation Center encompasses every aspect of of ce, business and patient care oversight, but the role I treasure most and am honored to carry out is being here for every patient to ensure that they know that they are
important, translating for our patients that are up against language barriers similar to the ones I faced in the not-so- distant past. My goal is to make every patient feel that they are a valuable part of the Southern Regional Chiropractic and Rehabilitation family and to make lasting connections in the community that encourage, empower and motivate others to live their best lives.
