GALVESTON, Texas, Sept. 26,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Abel R.
Longoria, MD, is being recognized by Continental Who's Who
as a Trusted Physician for his professional excellence in Emergency
Medicine and in acknowledgment of his outstanding work at
Hospitality Health.
Dr. Abel R. Longoria has worked
as an emergency physician for 27 years and has practiced with the
Galveston office of Hospitality
Health for the past five years. Hospitality Health, a freestanding
emergency department (FSED), has three facilities in Texas, focusing on changing the culture of how
medicine is delivered. Dr. Longoria and his team at Hospitality
Health handle all aspects of emergency medicine, going the extra
mile to ensure that patients and their families are comfortable and
stress-free.
Raised in a small south Texas
town with no type of healthcare facility within 15 miles, Dr.
Longoria understands the importance of access to health care and
believes that FSEDs will serve this purpose regardless of the
current economic world.
To attain his college education, Dr. Longoria earned a Bachelor
of Science degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry at the
University of Texas Pan-American. He
received his Medical Degree from the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston in 1995. The doctor completed his
residency in emergency medicine in 1998 at Henry Ford Hospital in
Detroit. An authority in his
field, Dr. Longoria is board-certified in emergency medicine by the
American Board of Emergency Medicine (ABEM).
The doctor served as the Medical Director of Ground Zero for the
14 days immediately after 9/11. His years of pre-hospital care were
recognized in 2008 when he was awarded the EMS Medical Director of
the Year Award for the Greater Houston
Area. Dr. Longoria also served as an officer in the U.S.
Army during Desert Storm and was 2nd in command of a Scout Company.
He received the Bronze Star for his meritorious service. During
Iraqi Freedom, Dr. Longoria was redeployed as a physician.
Dr. Longoria is associated with the Texas
College of Emergency Physicians, the American College of
Emergency Physicians, and the Texas Medical Association. He is a
charter member of the Texas Association of Freestanding Emergency
Centers (TAFEC) and is a past president of this organization. In
this role, his goals are to continue to educate legislators,
physicians, and the community about the FSED industry and the
independent practice of emergency medicine. Dr. Longoria built his
first FSED in 2009, and it was during this time that he realized
what it entailed to build, license, and manage an FSED. He
continues to advocate for the independent practice of emergency
medicine.
In his spare time, Dr. Longoria supports the local community as
Medical Director of EMS for the cities of League City, Friendswood, and La
Porte. Happily married since 1986, Dr. Longoria and his wife
Mary have four children: Alexandria and triplets, Maria Alicia, Daniel, and Julian. His wife
co-founded Ser y Hacer in Galveston. Through this organization, they
provide educational assistance to legal immigrants completing the
naturalization process.
He would like to dedicate this honorable recognition to the
loving memory of his parents, Abel R. and Alicia M. Longoria.
