Drs. Luz Garcia-Cervantes and Paul Griffin have served the communities of Huron and Coalinga for many years. Now, they’re excited to offer care at Adventist Health / Community Care – Avenal West, so their Avenal patients no longer have to drive out of town.

“The communities have been so good to me,” says Dr. Griffin. “I’ve been seeing Avenal patients in both Huron and Coalinga, so this is my way of supporting the community.”

Dr. Garcia-Cervantes agrees.

“I have good friends and patients I’ve known for a long time that have come to see me in Coalinga and Huron,” she says. “Now it’s time for me to come to their hometown.”
