Beloved doctor and mentor to many, Alan Chun, MD, has announced he is retiring from ICHS this spring 2025. He concludes a 31-year, multi-role career at ICHS. "His years of dedication to his patients, the field of medicine, and to serving the marginalized and underserved population speaks to the core of who he is as a person, a true humanitarian," said Dr. Mandeep Walia, ICHS PACE Medical Director. Dr. Chun grew up in Honolulu and received his medical degree from University of Hawai?i at Manoa John A. Burns School of Medicine. He joined ICHS in 1994 as its medical director, leading ICHS’ patient care and clinical practices during a pivotal period of growth. He was instrumental in ICHS’ successful launch in 2019 of ICHS PACE, the first culturally responsive program in our region. Since then, he has served as the PACE physician providing multidisciplinary care to elderly patients at?ICHS’ Legacy House. Thinking about his career and what it’s meant to him, Dr. Chun reflects: “I would really want to appreciate all my patients who have stuck with me and given me the opportunities to be of service to them. And in exchange have given me their full trust.” Thank you Dr. Chun for everything you've done! - - - - Read the full story at: https://lnkd.in/g6F3A3GF #ValueCHCs #HealthcareHeroes #CommunityHealth
