ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – During the coronavirus pandemic, Dr. Raul Pino has become a household name as one of the top medical leaders in Orange County.
Before landing in Central Florida, however, Pino experienced a long and -- at times -- dangerous ride to success.Pino was born and raised in the Cuban city of Ciego de Avila, which is located in the center of the island.
His father rose to prominence as a Supreme Court judge for his province, and his mother raised the family.As is the custom, Pino went away to boarding school at the age of 12, never to return home to live with his family again.“It was great for my education, as a human being and as an individual,” he said.
