What drew me to family medicine is the opportunity to build long-term relationships with patients while caring for a wide range of medical needs across different stages of life. I am especially drawn to community health centers because they allow me to provide comprehensive, accessible care to diverse and underserved populations while addressing both the medical and social factors that influence health.

Derrick Yoon

ADHC Administrator

My career path has been centered on serving and caring for people, including my previous healthcare experience with U.S. Renal Care, where I worked closely with patients and learned the importance of compassionate, individualized care. My background and graduate studies in Marriage and Family Therapy (MAMFT) have further strengthened my belief in understanding each person as a whole and providing care with empathy, dignity, and respect.

My goal is to help every participant feel respected, supported, and genuinely cared for. I believe quality care begins with listening, understanding each individual’s needs, and treating every person with compassion and dignity.

I hope to better my patients’ experiences and access to healthcare by providing them proper, multi-cultural care that they deserve.

Lucila Tarin, MD

Family Medicine Physician

I am a lifelong Angeleno and have been involved in graduate medical education in family medicine since 2012. I graduated medical school in 2000 and have practiced in LA ever since. I went into medicine to work in communities reflective of where and how I grew up. I like to make sure patients understand their current health status and feel free to ask questions.

I know patients have full lives with many responsibilities, and I try to address as many issues as possible in each visit to minimize return trips to the clinic, which often come with their own transportation issues and time away from work. Health care should not add a burden to your already full plate.

Medical Director, QI Chair

I believe everyone deserves high-quality healthcare. Working in community health allows me to care for people who might otherwise have difficulty accessing it and to build long-term relationships with my patients. I see healthcare as a partnership. My goal is to provide evidence-based care while helping patients navigate a complex healthcare system and create realistic plans that fit their goals, values, and lives. When I’m not at work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, staying active, traveling, and trying new restaurants.

Chris Harin Chang, MD

Family Medicine Physician

I was drawn to family medicine because I want to help people stay as healthy as possible so that they can live their lives to the fullest. I love taking care of the whole family, which is why I chose a specialty where I can see kids, parents, and grandparents. My own parents are immigrants for whom English is a second language and they had limitations in their own health care due to challenges with navigating the American healthcare system. I chose to work in a community center to help patients like my family.
