Janie is an internal medicine hospitalist at Hoag. A first-generation American, she immigrated to America from Taiwan with her family as a young girl. Education has always been important to Janie’s family. Her father wanted to come to America to earn a Ph.D., and her older brother David is also a physician. Even as a young girl, Janie knew she wanted to become a physician. David set a stellar path of education and service to her adopted country that inspired her, and which she ultimately followed. Janie received a Navy scholarship to New York Medical College and earned her Doctor of Medicine degree. She completed her internship and residency in internal medicine at the Naval Medical Center in San Diego, received the Aequanimitas Award during her 3rd year of residency for humility, compassion, and excellent care of patients, and was assigned as Attending Staff, Internal Medicine, at the U.S. Naval Hospital in Yokosuka, Japan where she was one of just four Internists providing comprehensive outpatient and inpatient care to 43,000 military personnel, Defense Department civilians, and their family members. Janie has received numerous honors and distinctions for her service, including the Navy & Marine Corps Achievement Medal. Janie is a full partner at Pacific Hospitalist Associates.
