Dr. Loretta Ortiz y Pino (1954-2017) was a Stanford-educated pediatrician who dedicated her life to caring for the children of Northern New Mexico, from the Navajo Nation to Taos. Born and raised in Santa Fe, she came from a long line of explorers, politicians, teachers, herbalists, and curanderos. She trained as a curandera for ten years, was a certified medical hypnotherapist, and advocated for integrative medicine in Taos.
