A Paycheck Protection Program loan allowed Dr. Carlos Rish to keep all his staff employed despite the economic hit his practice took from COVID-19.
When Dr. Carlos Rish opened Centro Medico Latino in the early 2000s, he did so out of what he saw as a need to provide affordable care in Spanish to the growing Latino community in Charlotte.
