Ultimately, this path led her to our nonprofit organization.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIf you look at my background, you\u2019ll see I\u2019ve done my training and education all around the country,\u201d said Dr. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lum Ho<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u201cI was in California for college, and then I worked in the nonprofit health care space for Lucille Packard Foundation after college doing kids\u2019 health communication and data. Then, I went to Boston and did a Master\u2019s in Public Health, focused on maternal child health care, and after that, I attended medical school and did my residency in pediatrics in Seattle, Washington,\u201d she explained.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After she finished medical school, Lum Ho traded the gloomy Seattle overcast for Southern California sunshine, where she wanted to shine compassion on communities that are too often underserved. When she discovered TrueCare, she says it felt like kismet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI came to San Diego when I started my practice after my residency,\u201d Dr. Lum Ho said. \u201cI kind of always have wanted to work in the community health space and at a community health center. Most of my education and work experience prior to this has been focused on trying to serve underserved communities and addressing health disparities they might experience. So, initially, when I moved to San Diego, I actually worked at a larger kind of private group practice in pediatrics for about two years or so. But when I had the opportunity to work at TrueCare, I was excited to be in that community health setting and work with that patient population. That\u2019s what attracted me to it initially,\u201d she added.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the TrueCare team was also a huge factor in her decision to work with us, because she recognized that our team would empower her to do the meaningful work she always dreamed of doing when she first became a provider.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI think the biggest thing that attracted me to TrueCare was the people and the multi-disciplinary nature of the team,\u201d Dr. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lum Ho<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> said. \u201cI feel that in order to really care for underserved populations or address health disparities, you can\u2019t do it as just a clinician. So it was really attractive to me that the pediatrics department, for example, that I would be joining had a dietician and two multilingual health educators and integrated behavioral health services with therapists. If you&#8217;re caring for this population, you need those resources to address the social determinants of health in a holistic way, and so that\u2019s what attracted me to TrueCare. Everything is under one umbrella, and I could tell that I would be supported in the mission by the whole organization rather than just me on my own trying to navigate these really complicated systems,\u201d she elaborated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Related Article: <\/i><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/truecare.org\/blog\/meet-the-truecare-providers-wanda-freeman\/\"><b><i>Meet the TrueCare Providers: Wanda Freeman PMHNP\/FNP-BC<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Made You Want to Work in Community Health?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lum Ho<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has always wanted to work in community health, and she says that finding an organization like TrueCare has helped her live out this dream. Ultimately, however, this passion for serving those who are often underserved stems from where she comes from.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI grew up in Maui, Hawaii, which is a more rural setting than somewhere like Honolulu or the other kind of major cities in Hawaii,\u201d she explained. \u201cI\u2019m native Hawaiian, so growing up, I was raised with very strong Hawaiian values in terms of caring for your community and social justice. I saw a lot of health disparities around me in the native Hawaiian population in my own family. My younger brother had some health issues as a child, and because of that, my family had to fly to Honolulu frequently for all his appointments because there wasn\u2019t access to that care where we lived. That sparked my initial interest in medicine, and I have always had a mission-driven approach to providing accessible health care to people who need and deserve it,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a result of her background and the disparities she saw first-hand, Dr. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lum Ho<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has always approached her passion for medicine through the lens of activism.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAs I went through my training and education, I made an effort to tailor my experience because that was the driving factor initially,\u201d Dr. Lum Ho said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Related Article: <\/i><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/truecare.org\/blog\/meet-the-truecare-team-phyllis-mason\/\"><b><i>Meet the TrueCare Staff: Phyllis Mason, Clinical Nurse Manager II<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Does Collaboration Look Like at TrueCare?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One aspect of working at TrueCare that Dr. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lum Ho<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> loves is the collaborative culture we have cultivated at our health centers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe collaborative aspect really plays out in my day-to-day clinical work with patients,\u201d Dr. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lum Ho<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> said. \u201cFor example, just during a routine visit yesterday, I saw multiple newborn babies who were having their first checkup since leaving the hospital. Part of that visit includes a visit with myself as the clinician and a visit with our lactation consultant, which is super important because that\u2019s one of the major issues we have to address early on in a newborn\u2019s life. The fact that they have access to that and each baby is paired with both of us during that initial visit is really important, and then the coordinator even walked over from her office to make sure that the family was signed up for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Program resources to help the mom get access to a breast pump that she was asking about,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Lum Ho believes that this is a shining example of the importance of everyone collaborating and working together to provide holistic care that truly elevates the health of the entire community.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s really extraordinary to have all these touch points, so it\u2019s pretty fulfilling to provide that,\u201d Dr. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lum Ho<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> said. \u201cIf it were just me in my own private practice or without those things, then I think that family would have been much less supported in taking care of their newborn. That\u2019s the kind of difference we\u2019re making \u2013 we get to have a positive impact on their lives at every stage. It\u2019s pretty incredible,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She said this collaborative environment would not be nearly as effective if it wasn\u2019t for the team dynamic. She feels the TrueCare team truly understands how to support each other. In that sense, it is truly a case of a rising tide lifting all ships.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s really great and collaborative, and what sets our team apart is that as providers, we all recognize our different areas of expertise,\u201d Dr. Lum Ho said. \u201cThat\u2019s at every level. So, at the provider level, I work with the other doctors within my department, and it\u2019s amazing to have access to each provider\u2019s area of expertise. For example, Dr. Posatada is one of our longtime pediatricians in my department, and she has a lot of expertise in things like ADHD and autism. We have other providers who have expertise in developmental screening in adolescent medicine and gynecologic issues. Everyone brings their own expertise to the table, and it\u2019s amazing to have access to that. They say it takes a village to raise a child, but I think this shows that it also takes a village to tend to their health,\u201d she added.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThen, going down to the other multi-disciplinary people, it\u2019s really great to collaborate with the lactation consultant, for example, because I\u2019m not an expert in breastfeeding, but she can get insight from the patient or parent that I couldn\u2019t have gotten myself,\u201d Dr. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lum Ho<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> explained. \u201cIn other situations, I might have to work with our health educator because I have a hard time controlling a kid\u2019s asthma, and we need to see what the barriers are that are preventing them from using the inhaler. It just really helps that we can kind of tap into each other\u2019s expertise to try to get the best care possible for patients,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Related Article: <\/i><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/truecare.org\/blog\/meet-the-truecare-staff-magdalena-lopez\/\"><b><i>Meet the TrueCare Staff: Magdalena Lopez, Medical Assistant<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Does TrueCare Address Burnout?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Lum Ho believes that the way that the team supports each other is one of the biggest salves for burnout at our nonprofit organization.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt really helps because everything isn\u2019t on you when it comes to delivering health care, which is way different compared to other environments I\u2019ve worked in,\u201d Dr. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lum Ho<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> said. \u201cIt helps me feel a lot less burnt out because I don\u2019t have all that pressure solely on me to try and solve all these really complicated problems,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She says that it helps provide a more comprehensive level of care.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFor example, if I\u2019m working with a really depressed teenager who needs therapy, I can feel secure knowing they\u2019ll actually get the care they need, which is different from other practice settings where I might have no idea when, or even if, they\u2019d be seen,\u201d Dr. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lum Ho<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> said. \u201cIn other settings, they might not get therapy for nine months, or they might never have someone follow up with them. Here, I can do a warm handoff to one of our integrated behavioral health therapists, knowing they\u2019re going to be assessed that same day and will have a safety plan in place. This is part of what makes our work so meaningful \u2013 you actually feel like you\u2019re making an impact,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ultimately, the burden of providing effective health care is another huge relief, which Dr. Lum Ho believes also staves off burnout.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cReally, it just takes a lot of the burden off your shoulders and leads to more satisfaction in that you can feel more comfortable in your role knowing that the patient is getting more support than you as an individual can offer,\u201d Dr. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lum Ho<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> said. \u201cThe mission and doing things you\u2019re passionate about is really important to minimizing burnout. Being part of an organization that has values that align with your own, especially in the current political climate with things going on socially, and knowing you\u2019re kind of on the same page as the organization in terms of values is also a huge help in that area,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She believes that the feeling of being in a place where you feel appreciated and like you\u2019re on the same page as the team makes all the difference.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt really is the antidote to burnout in some ways,\u201d Dr. Lum Ho said. \u201cYou may not always agree on the implementation of how we\u2019re addressing certain things or even how we are addressing them, but it helps to be in a place where you feel like you\u2019re on the same team, you\u2019re heard and valued, and everyone has the same mission and values in mind. Just as our own little department, we\u2019re pretty good about celebrating the little things. There\u2019s always a pot going on or a birthday celebration. We really celebrate each other\u2019s achievements and milestones, like new babies, and it\u2019s really great to have a fun environment that makes you feel appreciated,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Lum Ho emphasized that the fun-loving nature of our team really helps to manage some of the heavier moments that are unavoidable in the field.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe do a lot to have fun \u2013 we decorate the office and maybe go a little over-the-top for holidays, but we\u2019re pediatrics. So we tend to be a little bit more goofy! It\u2019s basically in the job description. This fun-loving nature of the team really helps relieve the stress and pressure that can come with this job,\u201d Dr. Lum Ho added.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Related Article: <\/i><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/truecare.org\/blog\/meet-the-truecare-providers-kelsey-carrio\/\"><b><i>Meet the TrueCare Providers: Kelsey Carrio, MD<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Does TrueCare Get Involved in the Community?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of Dr. Lum Ho\u2019s favorite aspects of working at TrueCare is that we are truly part of the community. She believes you cannot serve your community adequately if you do not create real connections and understand their needs on a deeper level.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe\u2019re really a part of the community, and that\u2019s a great point of pride for me,\u201d Dr. Lum Ho said. \u201cTrueCare has community events, public education initiatives, health fairs, breast milk drives, and things like that. We just started a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/truecare.org\/blog\/walk-with-a-doc-saturday-april-5\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Walk with the Doc<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> program, too. Knowing we\u2019re not just this building on the hill that\u2019s trying to administer medical care and are active in the community we serve is inspiring for the whole team,\u201d she added.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lum Ho<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> says these events are some highlights of working at TrueCare, and they enable her to recontextualize her relationship with the patients and community she serves.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI remember doing this careers in science and medicine type of event at the University of San Marcos that I went to and set up a table at with some other members of the TrueCare team,\u201d Dr. Lum Ho remembered. \u201cWe were able to educate them on nutrition. They also had a big health fair in our parking lot one time that I went to. At these events, we bring little games or activities to learn about kids&#8217; health stuff with little samples of things to hand out. It\u2019s really a lot of fun, and you get to see the living proof of why our work matters,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She says that these are important opportunities to humanize herself and the TrueCare team for the community and establish themselves as neighbors \u2013 not just providers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s just really fun to be out and see our patients in a different context, like seeing some families that I might take care of in the clinic just out and about and seeing kids play little games with their family is always really fun. It\u2019s important in my field because you want kids to associate you with good memories, and going to the doctor can be intimidating or downright scary for some children,\u201d Dr. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lum Ho<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> explained.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Related Article: <\/i><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/truecare.org\/blog\/meet-the-truecare-providers-chanelle-calhoun-md\/\"><b><i>Meet the TrueCare Providers: Channel Calhoun, MD<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Kind of Professional Development and Mentorship Opportunities Exist at TrueCare?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lum Ho<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> also values the opportunity to continue growing and developing her skillset, which she attributes to our leadership team.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOne of the great things about our department is we have leadership that really encourages creative thinking, problem-solving, and piloting new programs,\u201d Dr. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lum Ho<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> said. \u201cI think sometimes, in other settings, there\u2019s resistance to change or hesitancy to alter the status quo. But it\u2019s the opposite of that here. In San Marco Pediatrics, our team is constantly looking at ways to improve things or add things to our services, which feeds into our individual professional growth,\u201d she explained.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She says that this openness to change makes them more innovative and enables the health center to better serve our community.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cSome initiatives I\u2019ve been a part of specifically are a recent pilot program within our department for weight management for teenagers and adolescents with obesity because we now have injectables that help with weight management and obesity specifically,\u201d Dr. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lum Ho<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> said. \u201dThey\u2019re approved for kids 12 and up, so it\u2019s pretty new and cutting edge. I know a lot of primary care pediatrics are not doing much of that right now, but we\u2019re still being intentional. We\u2019re not just prescribing these medications \u2013 we need a whole intervention around it. So our pilot program is intended to find good candidates and maybe even create a workflow where they first have an intake with a registered dietitian, have an intake with our nurse to talk about injections and side effect monitoring and have them attend a group class run by our dietitian and nurse. Then, they\u2019d meet with one of our behavioral health providers to ensure we\u2019re not missing an eating disorder or anxiety,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lum Ho<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> says that new initiatives and programs are new opportunities for growth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThey\u2019ve been very intentional about empowering us as clinicians to be able to come up with a new workflow, figure out how it implements within our team, present to the rest of the division, and potentially implement it across the organization,\u201d Dr. Lum Ho said. \u201cI never question whether or not they trust or believe in me. It\u2019s really exciting and gratifying to be able to think creatively and improve processes, and being able to create those things and present those things adds a layer of professional development. Really, when you are working with cutting-edge technology or using innovative approaches, it\u2019s impossible not to develop professionally, and we do a lot of that here to serve our community,\u201d she added.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Are Three Things You Would Say to Someone Who Was in Your Shoes Before You Joined TrueCare?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Lum Ho had some excellent wisdom to offer those of you who are considering joining the TrueCare team and applying for a job! In fact, she had three pieces of advice. The first revolves around patients and families.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIf you want to work with this population, TrueCare is truly an amazing place to do it,\u201d said Dr. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lum Ho<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0 \u201cWe have an amazing community of patients and families that we work with, and their medical and social situations can sometimes be complex. But that makes it more rewarding,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second piece of advice? Join our team if you want to work with a diverse team.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe also have a really varied team that is still on the same page in terms of our mission,\u201d explained Dr. Lum Ho. \u201cThat\u2019s pretty rare, so that\u2019s definitely a highlight. We are very warm and welcoming, so it doesn\u2019t matter what walk of life you\u2019re from. What matters is what you believe in,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On that note, the third piece of advice is to understand the values that TrueCare stands for!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s really important to understand the core values of our nonprofit organization and ensure they align with yours,\u201d said Dr. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lum Ho<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u201cIf they do, and you\u2019re passionate about decreasing health disparities and joining a team that is passionate about providing excellent care for people who may not always have access to excellent care, it will be endlessly fulfilling.
