About Priyanka Hennis

Doctor. Speaker. Longevity Mindset Coaching Hi, I’m Dr. Hennis - I’m a holistic physician who understands that healthcare isn’t just about clinical guidelines—its Christ-centered while staying human in the middle of it all.I moved to the U.S. as a young adult immigrant, completely lost in the healthcare system. The food was foreign, but even more so was the health system itself—full of rules that didn’t make sense, bills that didn’t stop coming, and care that often didn’t feel like care.My parent cleaned toilets to help pay for my medical school. 🧼 That’s how I learned the value of time, dignity, and health—because when you come from a place where health is a luxury, you never take it for granted. I practice a health-before-wealth philosophy because I’ve seen what happens when generations are forced to trade wellbeing for survival.🩺 Today, I’ve become the doctor I wish my younger self had—one who: Puts Christ before myself Builds intelligent health systems for my clients Mentors others on how to build a health before wealth🧠 Coaches clients and team through emotional burnout and habit change with more compassion than cortisolI speak the language of patients and product managers, of grandmas and governance committees. Whether it’s a patient call, or a team meeting—I bring clarity, empathy, and a bit of humor (plus caffeine ).Credentials? Christ-centered entrepreuner Holistic care doctor in primary care, urgent care, nursing homes, and digital health M.D. with experience across small and large U.S. hospital systems Second-generation doctor who believes systemic empathy should be standard protocol Let’s connect if you’re building human-first healthcare, designing with compassion, or just believe that healing shouldn’t feel like decoding a manual.#HealthBeforeWealth #ImmigrantVoicesInMedicine #DigitalHealth #AIWithHeart #BurnoutToBalance #GenerationalLegacy #PhysicianLeadership
