Victor Wong is thrilled to join the palliative care program at Cook County/RUSH University and serve the people of Chicago. He completed residency training in Emergency Medicine at Maimonides Medical Center, the largest hospital in Brooklyn, NY. Despite a deep passion for the breadth and acuity of emergency medicine, he made the most profound connections in the ED when having deep discussions with gravely ill individuals and their families. He is excited to continue exploring the complex cultural, ethnic, religious, and family backgrounds that influence the dynamic decisions of individuals and families at the end of life. Outside the hospital, Victor loves exploring the city with his friends, indulging in boba and spicy foods, and doing his best Steph Curry impression on the basketball court. Lastly, he knows his New York friends would disown him if he said that Chicago pizza > NY pizza, but it’s true!
