Featured Speaker

“Dr. Maykao Hang is a proven, values-based leader who is passionate about the well-being of underserved communities and a champion of addressing disparities.”

We are excited to introduce Dr. MayKao Hang as our 2021 Bridge to Health speaker. Dr. Hang has a BA in psychology from Brown University, a MA in Public Affairs from the University of Minnesota, and a Doctorate in Public Administration from Hamline University. Not only does Dr. Hang have the credentials to speak on advancing equity for all, but she also has the experience. As VP of St. Thomas’ College of Health, and former President and CEO of the Wilder Foundation, Dr. Hang’s extensive work and background in non-profit organizations provide us all with an amazing opportunity to learn from her accomplishments.

Dr. Hang is adamant about the well-being of underserved communities and is committed to addressing disparities in these communities. From developing programs that address disparities in children’s mental health to increasing the number of licensed clinicians of color, her progress is indicative of the advancements possible in this field of work. The combination of her passion, experience, education, and wisdom enable her to effectively lead the charge in health equity.

Dr. Hang captures WellShare’s core principle as she says, “I really think that if we are together, we can do anything. That’s actually how everything around us has been created.” Simply put, we are stronger together. The basis of WellShare’s CHW model echoes Dr. Hang’s wisdom: Amazing things happen when we work together. Her dedication to this work led her to be recognized as one of Twin Cities’ Business Journal People to watch for.
