As he progressed forward, he decided to widen his knowledge to contribute towards the improvement of health care for underserved populations. Jose completed his Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from the City College of New York and then earned a Master of Social Work from Adelphi University. In 2002, he was conferred an Honorary Doctorate degree from the New York College of Podiatric Medicine in recognition of his immeasurable accomplishments and steadfast commitment to improving the health care outcomes for some of the poorest and most disadvantaged populations in New York City. In 2019, Jose was conferred his second Honorary Doctorate degree from St. George’s University School of Medicine for his contributions to medicine, education, and public health.
Before assuming his leadership role at Humboldt Park Health, Jose took the onus for the role of Senior Vice President of the Generations +/Northern Manhattan Health Network, the largest health care network in the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation. While handling the responsibilities, he oversaw three acute care hospitals, of which two were level one trauma centers and 34 community-based health centers in East Harlem, Central Harlem, and the South Bronx in New York City.
