In medical school, Jacquelyn Chang, M.D., wished she had a space to discuss issues affecting Asian Americans — so she created one. She received the Foundation's 2026 Kun-Po Soo Award for her role as co-founder of @ncpsinfo Committee on Asian American Issues, which she has chaired since 1999. Please join us in congratulating Dr. Chang ⭐
