Alana’s story

CarrCARE Charity Founder and CEO dr.Alana Carr sitting on a chair

“ My journey into medicine began as a two-year-old facing a life-threatening condition that required a complex organ transplant. This experience ignited my passion for healthcare, leading me to dedicate the past decade to clinical training, research and nonprofit work. With a focus on obstetrics and gynecology, my goal is to improve women’s healthcare through innovative research, compassionate care and education. ”
