Plot
Season 1
Dr. Roberto López, founder of the Centro de Salud Pública Central, has been serving young patients for three decades, but is considering retirement. His colleague, David Ureña, is a pediatrician who seems to be more concerned with the statistics and financial situation of the center than with improving patient care. This causes him to have conflicts with the most recent member of the team, Dr. Laura Gómez, whose patience, empathy and sensible advice make her very popular among patients despite a disturbing incident from her past. But the income has decreased, the clinic is in danger of closure, and the envious Dr. Ureña blames Dr. Gómez for the changes she made in clinical procedures during his absence. While physicians face declining clinic income and personal challenges, parents continue to take their children to the medical center, where in addition to care, they receive advice on a variety of early childhood development issues, such as ways to encourage cognitive and linguistic development at an early age, the benefits of bilingualism, the importance of parents and other caregivers, socio-emotional health, among others.[5]
Season 2
After 25 years as an elementary school teacher, Clara Martinez is found without a job and decides to seek employment at a community center for low-income families teaching English as a second language. Clara begins to discover the problems of the community and the children and families who visit her regularly, and decides to ask the help of her friend Susana López who is a pediatrician and psychologist. Together they embark on a mission to develop a support program for parents and children at the center. But they quickly encounter a major obstacle: commissioner Alfredo Dominguez intends to dismantle the center to sell the land to a private company with plans to build a golf center.[6]
