content: Regina Lee, currently the chief development officer and former executive president of public affairs at the Charles B. Wang Community Health Center, shares her experiences on identity, community, culture, health, and rights. Lee discusses her family's multi-generational immigation history from China to New York and how they became prominent members in community organizations such as the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association [CCBA]. These generational values of community and service were central in Lee's trajectory as a volunteer, student, and lawyer where she worked to provide resources needed in immigrant communities. Eventually, Lee's role as a volunteer and advocate for affordable health services in her Asian American community led her to co-found one of the most important free community health clinics in the nation, the Charles B. Wang Community Health Center.
