From Patient to Physcian: At just 16 years old, Nahomi Barragan-Carmona’s life changed forever when a kitchen fire in Mexico left her with burns covering 70% of her body. Local doctors told her family she wouldn’t survive, but thanks to her uncle, a firefighter, she was transferred to Shriners Children's Northern California, where expert burn care gave her a second chance.
Nearly 20 years later, Nahomi returned to the very hospital that saved her life — this time not as a patient, but as Dr. Barragan-Carmona, a physician determined to bring world-class burn care back to Mexico.
Her journey from survivor to healer is proof of the life-changing care at Shriners Children’s. Read more of her story in Leaders in Care magazine. (link in bio).
