Dr. Laureano-Vega is one of the original incorporators of the League Against AIDS, the oldest Hispanic AIDS Services Organization in the United States. Manny was born in Puerto Rico and had the unique experience of living in many countries because he is an Army brat. He graduated from Antilles High School in Ft. Buchanan, Puerto Rico, and then moved to Florida and received his Bachelor degree in biology from the University of Tampa, Florida in 1978. He completed his Master's degree in neuro-biology in 1981 from the University of Puerto Rico, and his Medical Doctorate in 1986 from the Universidad Central del Este, Dominican Republic. Manny has dedicated his work to establishing health networks to battle the surge of new epidemics we face as a community. His work in HIV/AIDS began in 1985 and today it has been almost 25 years of work in the fight against HIV/AIDS. He has been honored repeatedly for the quality and quantity of his work, among some of these are the Hispanic Man of the year Award (1999, Hispanic Empresarios of Miami) and his listing in The Who's Who Among Hispanic Americans (1992). Most of all we value his compassion and dedication to serving the Hispanic HIV/AIDS Community of Miami-Dade County. Dr. Laureano also teaches at the Sistema Universitario Ana G. Mendez, where he teaches, Biology, Health Care Management, Public Health, and Integrated Science courses to undergraduates.
Ms. Sosa Vazquez comes to the League from Cuba. She has great commitment to this work and always places the needs of the client as a priority in her life. She is knowledgeable about health care systems and public health as she has completed her bachelors degree in Health Services Management, graduating with honors at the Ana G. Mendez University System. She is presently working aspects of patient care related to medical services provided through the Social Security system, the Florida Department of Children and Families, as well as, the Agency for Health Care Administration. She is a firm believer in treat others the way in which you wish to be treated. She also has her own health care initiative, an ALF called Paradise Vila, that provides housing and healthcare to the elderly and the disabled.
