About Boi Ha

I am a dedicated public health professional driven by the intersection of clinical care, data-informed strategy, and community empowerment. Currently pursuing an M.P.H. in Healthcare Management at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, I specialize in bridging the gap between healthcare systems and the diverse communities they serve. With a background in managing million-dollar initiatives, I currently oversee the First Healthcare AmeriCorps program in Texas, where I led its growth from a $500k initiative to a $1.5 million program supporting 70 members. My experience spans the full spectrum of healthcare administration—from clinical data analysis and EMR documentation to developing training curricula for Community Health Workers (CHWs) and spearheading social determinants of health (SDoH) programs. Program Leadership: Managing large-scale grants, regulatory compliance (AmeriCorps/HIPAA), and multidisciplinary teams. Health Advocacy: Experienced in case management, patient navigation, and connecting underserved populations to essential resources. Data & Research: Proficient in leveraging Python, Power BI, and EMR systems (Epic, Athena) to evaluate program ROI and improve health outcomes. Community Engagement: Certified Community Health Worker and bilingual (Cantonese) communicator focused on culturally sensitive care.I am passionate about advancing preventive care and mental health initiatives through collaborative leadership and evidence-based practice. Let\'s connect to discuss the future of healthcare management and community health.
