Some key quotations from “In Conversation” with Ming-Ka<\/strong><\/p>\u201cI think of it in two ways\u2026so much of health and health care involves change, so leadership is about supporting and facilitating change, whether that be for patients, families, or communities. The other is in the area of advocacy and I do think that we advocate for our patients and families on the day-to-day basis with the patients who present in our offices, emergencies, etc. And then, I think we need to think about the bigger picture, the system issues, thinking about it from a lens of prevention, and thinking about it on a more global scale.\u201d<\/p>
\u201cThe beauty is being able to have national collaborations and partnerships as well as global and, in this day and age, with connectivity and so many different modalities, I think there’s a huge potential, regardless of where you are located.\u00a0 I think the important thing is to have a peer support system, mentorship, sponsorship, and that can take shape no matter where you are.\u201d<\/p>
\u201cI also believe that it’s really important to prioritize family.\u00a0 They are very much the heart and, I often say they’re the best of who I am, and much of what I do is on behalf of them in many ways.\u00a0 So that keeps me on that path. But I do make sure that I nurture my relationships at home, and friendships, to maintain that body-mind-spirit and that work-home integration.\u00a0 But it’s definitely, I think, always a work in progress.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
