In honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, we're proud to share the voices of our AAPI associates through Care Rooted in Heritage, a series celebrating the connection between cultural identity and career.

We believe care is more than a job. It’s deeply personal — often rooted in the values, traditions, and lived experiences we carry with us.

Meet Anita Chou, Adventist Health Southern California Network Finance Officer, and learn how her heritage has shaped her career and the way she expresses care every day:

"My cultural background has taught me the importance of respect, humility, and treating others with compassion. Growing up between the U.S. and Taiwan helped me understand the value of listening, being adaptable, and recognizing that every person comes from a different background and experience. These values influence my thought process in consideration for patients, families, and coworkers in my role as the Network Finance Officer at Adventist Health Southern California by making sure I approach others with empathy, patience, and a strong commitment to helping them feel supported and understood."
