Brian Park is an Associate Professor at the Oregon Health & Science University’s (OHSU) Department of Family Medicine and School of Public Health. The child of immigrants and a failed filmmaker, Brian is guided by a vision of a health system rooted in healing, justice, and love. He is the inaugural medical director of OHSU’s Health Equity Organization, co-creating academic–community partnerships that catalyze community-powered change. He also founded the RELATE Lab, whose Relational Leadership Institute trains healthcare professionals in human-centered, collectivist leadership, and whose HEAL program integrates community organizing into health systems.

Outside of work, Brian loves being outdoors with his partner Alison and child Haneul, writing about movies and music, and cooking for friends.
