Business Partner Spotlight: Vanguard Skin Specialists
Dr. Vinh and Leisle Chung with their four children in Colorado Springs
As a refugee, I was a child without a country a child without a home, says Dr. Vinh Chung, a Colorado Springs dermatologist and Mohs surgeon who at age three fled post-war Vietnam in a treacherous family boat journey that eventually landed him in the United States.
Dr. Chung knows that his childhood riddled with challenges and barriers is comparable to what is faced by the foster children CASA serves. But as a refugee child growing up in Arkansas, he was met with the kindness and compassion needed for him to reach his full potential.
Now with a medical degree from Harvard Medical School, a Master of Theology from the University of Edinburgh, and countless other accolades under his belt including his time as a Fulbright Scholar, Dr. Chung has made it his mission and passion to help others reach their full potential.
I grew up in a place where I did not have a culture to belong to or a culture who understood who I was. When I think about the US, the most comparable population are the kids in foster care. They do not have a permanent home. They do not live with people who understand who they are. They are the most vulnerable population.
Perhaps its because of the companys commitment to bettering the world around them that the 14 medical providers at Vanguard stand out as top-notch dermatology and plastic surgery practitioners.
