Professional Interviews

Luis Amezcua, originally from Mexico City (Mexico), spent his childhood on a farm, and then moved to Seattle, WA where he spent most of his teen years and adulthood. He began his career in health care with an entry level position as an emergency medical customer service representative for the Swedish Medical Center in Seattle. He soon realized that he wanted to dedicate his life to providing community-based medical services to underserved communities as a leader. This path would require a university degree and specific qualifications within the health care sector known as RHIA. He pursued an undergraduate degree in History, Accounting and Health Informatics from the University of Washington. After 7 years of working in health care administration for the Swedish Medical Center in Seattle, he pursued an Executive Master’s Degree Program in Health Care Administration. This qualification led to opportunities to work for the Federal Qualified Health Center as a Revenue Cycle Manager and the Seattle Children's Hospital in health information management. Luis' goal was to become a Director of Revenue Cycle Management which involves having a profound knowledge of finance, accounting, contracts, budgets, leadership along with FACHE certification.
