Biography
Dr. Brian Park (he/him) is a family medicine provider. He loves partnering with people of all ages, genders and cultures to help them lead healthier and happier lives. He has special training in preventive medicine, transgender and gender-affirming care, and opioid use disorder treatments.
Dr. Park is passionate about creating a more relational and inclusive health system for patients and communities by bringing diverse communities together to create systems and social change. He founded and oversees a community-organizing program in which patients, health care providers and community partners come together to create solutions for local health equity issues. He also directs a leadership program in which health care students and professionals develop relational leadership skills to better partner with one another to create systems and social change.
Dr. Park was born in Minnesota and raised by South Korean immigrant parents. He saw firsthand how language barriers and cultural differences influenced his family's experiences with the health care system. Because of that, from a young age he became interested in how health care could advance justice and equity.
When he's not working, Dr. Park enjoys movies, writing about music and health care (sometimes together), drinking coffee with a friend or hiking with his partner Alison and kiddo Haneul.
