My transition from being a PA clinician to becoming a PA administrator in pop health is mind bogglin

Who actually holds healthcare pricing accountable?

Spent today at the Affordability in Action conference thinking about a “sixth estate.” Payors, independent providers, health systems, government and consumers all have a stake - forums like this can be the sixth force that brings them into one room and challenges the pricing stories each side tells.

One idea from Wendell Potter’s discussion stuck with me: when does protecting the margin start to displace the mission?

Independent providers belong in this conversation, not treated as interchangeable with large health systems.

Hearing from Kada Health and Montana’s state employee health plan moved the conversation toward what change could look like in practice.

For New York, the question is what it takes to turn that pressure into lower costs.

Tonight we hit Mach 2 in real life 🚀

Not a jet. An autonomous care robot, rounding on patients like it was born for the job. Caught it live at the Robots That Care Summit in Brooklyn.

The team behind it: — a recent Vaark investment. Robots that round, capture vitals without contact, and write the clinical notes. This is happening on nursing home floors RIGHT NOW. #

But the tech is the easy part. The real conversation:
— Trust in AI at the bedside
— What happens to the jobs
— Whether the economics work

My take? This IS the future. Healthcare is in a cost crisis and we need more hands — robots can fill the care gaps, expand access, and level up the patient experience.

But it only works if:
1️⃣ The economics justify it beyond cutting labor
2️⃣ The workforce transition is managed — new roles, retraining, real support. Ease in. Don’t slash.

The conqueror’s verdict: augmentation over replacement 🏆

Big thanks to Norbert Health, Wandercraft robotics , NY Robotics, and One Health Collective for the gathering. This is how we build the future of healthcare 🤖

We are thrilled to celebrate a major milestone: the grand opening of the fifth United Chinese Association of Brooklyn community center, proudly serving Sheepshead!

Led by Ansen Tang and our dedicated team, this expansion reflects our enduring commitment to bringing vital social services, enriching educational programs, and powerful community advocacy directly to the neighborhoods our members call home.

More than a new location, this center represents a new chapter of connection, opportunity, and support for our community. Together, we are building a stronger, more vibrant Brooklyn!

My first American Academy of Physician Associates LAS in DC 🇺🇸

Proud to represent PAs in Asian Health and bring the PA voice to Capitol Hill.

We spoke with congressional offices about what matters most: expanding PA practice authority, removing barriers to timely care, and making sure healthcare policy reflects the value PAs bring to primary care, specialty care, and our communities.

Advocacy is more than policy—it is making sure clinician and patient experiences are heard where decisions are made.

LIC, you showed up. 🔥

First-ever PAs in Asian Health local event, 20+ PAs & PA students in one room. Derm, GI, plastics, peds, family med, we had it all.

Old classmates reconnecting. New friendships forming. This is exactly why we do this. 🙌

Networking isn’t a nice-to-have in this field, it’s the whole game. Community > going it alone.

Shoutout to Paul Mai and Kyle Liang for helping me pull this off.

More events coming. If you’re a PA or PA student, come find us PAs in Asian Health. 👀 Be sure to follow our luma calendar for events, share the gospel and become a member!

Real ones get called up when it counts. 🙌

This week I’m mentoring at The Consult — Healing Healthtech’s mini accelerator for early-stage founders building the future of healthcare (Aug 26–27, NYC).
21 founders picked their must-meet mentors going into this thing, and I made the list. Wild to be in the same room as some of the sharpest investors and operators in digital health right now.

But honestly? The real reward isn’t the company I’m keeping — it’s watching a founder walk out with an answer that saves them 6 months of guessing.
This is the work. Helping healthcare builders skip my mistakes and get straight to impact.

More to come from the room 👀

Honored to be named President-Elect of PAs in Asian Health.

My journey as a PA has never been traditional—from mentoring future PAs, to pushing beyond clinical expectations, to stepping away in 2018 to build in the business side of healthcare.

As a Chinese immigrant, I grew up with the unspoken rule to stay quiet and follow the path. I chose differently.

This role is deeply personal. It’s about creating space, elevating voices, and showing the next generation of Asian American PAs that we can lead, innovate, and redefine what’s possible.

HLNY Gala vibes 🙌

Had an amazing night at the of New York Annual Gala — always love being in a room full of people pushing healthcare forward.

Huge shoutout to for his big night and well-deserved recognition, and thanks for having me there to celebrate with you.

Congrats to all the honorees — honored to witness it.

Thrilled to see Mandi Tam and Margarita Chang launch their new practice.

This is what the future of primary care looks like—NPs stepping into ownership, building for their communities, and leading from the front.

Scope of practice and payment reform in NY isn’t optional—it’s a workforce necessity. NPs and PAs are already a core part of primary care, but outdated rules still limit access.

Let us practice at the top of our training. Let us lead.
Congrats again—this is how we expand care.
