Dr. Hy Gia Park, MD
Board Certified General and Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist
“I was born at the tail end of the Vietnam War and by the time I was 3 or 4 years old, my family made the decision to flee war-torn Vietnam. We were among the millions of “boat people” who migrated out of Vietnam between 1978-79 on small over-crowded fishing boats. Unbeknownst to me, it was the experience of living in a refugee camp in Malaysia and witnessing people from different countries and backgrounds commiserating, cooperating, and sharing limited resources to create a life worth living that sparked what has become my life’s work. I chose to be a psychiatrist because I believe that despite pain, tragedy, and hardships we can do more than just survive. We can actually THRIVE! We just need to have the right tools and a “village” of support.” Dr. Hy Gia Park graduated from the University of Hawaii School of Medicine, completed General Psychiatry Residency and Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship both at the University of Denver. Dr. Park is a board certified psychiatrist. In addition to her psychiatry training, Dr. Park also has two masters degrees, one in public health and the second in computer programming. Her master’s thesis in public health examined health care access and financing for immigrant populations. For her master’s thesis in computer programming, Dr. Park developed an integrated communication network in an upstate New York community hospital for their emergency services department. Dr. Hy Gia Park grew up in Honolulu, Hawaii and attended Colorado College in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Dr. Park has experience working in various health care arenas beyond just clinical settings, including hospitals, outpatient clinics, community mental health, health maintenance organizations, and in the state legislatures through the National Conference of State Legislatures.
