Dr. Francesco Laterza is a board-certified internal medicine physician who received his MD from Ross University before completing his residency and a chief residency year at Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia. While training in Philadelphia, he had the opportunity to work in his residency’s Pride Clinic. His desire to prescribe PrEP to all people stemmed from an early point in his medical career. As a gay physician, Dr. Laterza always wanted to provide healthcare to the LGBTQ+ community and being part of the Q Care Plus team has been a great experience and opportunity to do so.
Dr. Laterza currently resides in South Carolina with his husband, daughter, and fur babies. In addition to Q Care Plus, he works as an inpatient hospitalist at one of the hospitals in South Carolina. There, he strives to make all patients feel accepted and comfortable being their true selves. He is also part of the hospital system’s Pride Alliance whose goals are to promote LGBTQ+ friendly policies and an accepting environment. He is incredibly proud to work for Q Care Plus and continues to work towards equal opportunity for all in healthcare.
