The son of a physician and the eldest of four boys who all grew up to become doctors, Dr. Tung Giep knew early on what his career path would look like. He always wanted to make a difference in the lives of patients and to help shape the future of the healthcare system. The experience of emigrating from Vietnam to the US after the Vietnam War strengthened his resolve and built a resilience that he has carried throughout his life and career. Dr. Giep is a graduate of Wofford College in Spartanburg, SC. He received his medical degree and completed residency at The Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC), then went on to complete his fellowship at Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, MO. His background includes board certification in pediatrics and neonatal-perinatal medicine, a fellow with the American Academy of Pediatrics, and over twenty-five years serving as a medical director within community hospitals. He founded and served as the president of NICS, providing hospitals with 24/7 Level-2 and Level-3 NICU and pediatric hospitalist programs for seventeen years before the company was sold to a national company in 2017. Throughout his career, he successfully developed and scaled neonatal programs from the ground up, providing innovative and quality-focused patient care and resulting in profitability and streamlined processes. Under his leadership, several underperforming nurseries have been transformed into high-performing and top producing units within a short turnaround time. Additionally, he has led the initiative to implement an innovative telemedicine program via Teledoc that provides clinicians 24/7 access to neonatologists, helping to avoid unnecessary transfers and provide more comprehensive care. He is the Medical Director of Community Hospital Level-2 Nurseries for a Children’s Hospital-affiliated hospital, where he manages the development of the Neonatal Telemedicine Program. He credits much of his success to a diverse background that includes clinical, business, and financial expertise, along with his innate ability to cultivate meaningful relationships with both internal and external stakeholders. His focus on a collaborative and integrated approach to creating a seamless and best-in-class healthcare experience for all—with the patient and the families at the forefront—has been at the core of his entire career as a healthcare provider. Dr. Giep lives in Houston, TX with his wife, Michelle and sons Sebastian and Benjamin, and enjoys travel, cooking, and keeping up with the latest technology developments in the medical field. He insists that writing this book has been one of the hardest things he has ever done in life.
