Miguel Alonso, RN brings a unique combination of international medical training and deep cultural understanding to his role as Pediatrics Care Coordinator at CrescentCare. With advanced medical degrees in Internal Medicine and General Medicine from Cuba and his recent Associate in Applied Science in Nursing degree, Miguel combines extensive clinical knowledge with compassionate care coordination to serve New Orleans’ immigrant families.

Since 2015, Miguel has dedicated himself to supporting the local immigrant community, with particular expertise in working with Latino families from Central and South America. His bilingual abilities and cultural background allow him to build meaningful connections with patients and families who may face language barriers or feel overwhelmed navigating the healthcare system.

Miguel’s approach to care is deeply rooted in dignity, compassion, and respect for each individual. He understands that healthcare extends far beyond medical treatment – it encompasses prevention, advocacy, and addressing the social determinants that affect health outcomes. Whether assisting with primary care visits, coordinating specialty referrals, navigating behavioral health services, or helping families enroll in Medicaid, Miguel ensures that every interaction is culturally sensitive and patient-centered.

What sets Miguel apart is his commitment to building trust and lasting relationships. Patients can expect to be truly heard and supported throughout their healthcare journey, with clear communication delivered in a warm, empathetic manner. His work extends beyond individual appointments as he helps coordinate community outreach events and advocates for immigrant children and families.

Miguel’s passion for serving vulnerable communities was sparked in childhood and strengthened through his international mission work in Cuba and South America. When he’s not coordinating care for families, Miguel enjoys spending time with his own family, listening to music, and staying connected to his cultural heritage through cooking and storytelling.
