His volunteer efforts include stints as a volunteer physician at Albert Schweitzer Hospital, Haiti; at Guayaquil Infectious Diseases Hospital, Ecuador; and as a volunteer coordinator at the Center for AIDS Services.

Dr. Halligan’s interests and priorities never waver from those of the patients he serves, so his primary areas of focus have been the California state legislative health care agenda, the current federal immigration debate, and his ongoing work on behalf of those living with HIV and AIDS.

Dr. Halligan received his medical degree from Loyola University, Chicago, Stritch School of Medicine in 1998 and completed his residency in family medicine as a Chief Resident at University of California, Los Angeles, Ventura County Medical Center in 2001.
