Dr. Haidy Carrasquillo Rodriguez was born in Caguas, Puerto Rico, where she obtained her medical degree from San Juan Bautista Medical School in 1998. Her passion for helping others was evident from a very young age; every time someone got hurt in the baseball field across from her house, she would rush back home to find band aids to tend to those wounds.

Dr. Carrasquillo has had an impressive career with important roles across a variety of medical fields and settings, including emergency care, hospice and geriatric care. As a US Army Reserve veteran, she earned the Army Achievement Medal for her contributions as part of the Medical Unit 369 at Fort Buchanan.

For Dr. Carrasquillo, medicine is extremely personal and that’s why she believes that in order to truly achieve better health, doctors and patients need to forge a strong bond of trust and respect. She is a big believer that “challenges are what make life interesting and overcoming them is what makes it meaningful”, and with this mindset, she wants to be part of a transformation of healthcare that SaludVIP is leading.
