She specializes in Geriatrics, and is currently practicing at Amistad Health, where she also serves as Chief Medical Officer.
Her passion is patient education and improving the lives of those who live in our Coastal Bend communities. Dr. Garcia Blow and her husband Dr. Osbert Blow were instrumental in the development and completion of the Dr. Hector P. Garcia Memorial Family Health Center.

IWA Corpus Christi recieves a generous gift from the Foudation
From Incarnate Word:
On September 17th, we gathered at the James R. Dougherty, Jr. Center for a Mass honoring Dr. Héctor P. García. Our 5th graders created a beautiful booklet of prayers, reflections, and hand-drawn art for his daughter, Cecilia. The Dr. Héctor P. García Foundation also gifted IWA $2,000 in his memory. We are truly grateful for this generous gift and for the lasting legacy of Dr. García’s compassion and service.
