St. Vincent’s East Hospital

Dr. Prince has been blessed to serve the St. Vincent's East Family Medicine Residency Program at Christ Health Center for 17 years. She has loved being part of the educational journey for scores of bright new physicians and student pharmacists. A graduate of Mercer University, Dr. Prince completed an ASHP accredited PGY1 residency at the Regional Medical Center at Memphis before God called her to Samford University in 1994.  She has enjoyed building relationships and contributing to advancements in patient care through 18 years in national level leadership with the American Pharmacists Association as well as in numerous state and local offices. She is the incoming President-elect of the American Pharmacists Association,  the oldest and largest pharmacy professional organization. She is the recipient of multiple national and state level awards.  She is passionate about her professional interests of multidisciplinary education,substance use disorders, and pain management.  She attempts to give back for all she has been given through community service in a variety of venues including serving 10+ years as a Girl Scout leader for two troops. After a decade of waiting on God's timing for parenthood she and her husband of 37 years now have two beautiful daughters (21 and 17 years old). When they aren't busy spending time with their daughters (or at their daughter's activities), the Princes enjoy live theatre, museums, zoos, and fostering rescue dogs. One of her favorite scriptures is Psalm 30:12 "Oh Lord my God, I will give you thanks forever" because no matter how dark the valley or strong the storm there is joy to be found in thanking God for all the blessings He has given you.  One of the many great blessings for which Dr. Prince is grateful is the opportunity to teach and practice with Christ Health Center where there is such a high level of mutual respect and appreciation among the various disciplines. She sees the opportunity as a chance to touch the lives of health care professionals and help them grow in confidence and wisdom so they can be best equipped to go out into the world and show God's love through caring for others.

Susie Kim, PharmD., Ambulatory Care Resident

Pharmacy Education:

• PharmD: University of the Incarnate Word Feik School of Pharmacy, San Antonio, Texas 2020
• PGY-1 Pharmacy Practice Residency: Virginia Garcia Memorial Health Center, Hillsboro, Oregon 2021

Personal Bio: I was born in Daegu, South Korea and moved to the U.S. with my family in 2003. I was raised in Louisiana and love all things gumbo, crawfish, fried chicken, and southern hospitality. I completed my pre-pharmacy requirements and pharmacy education at the University of the Incarnate Word Feik School of Pharmacy in San Antonio, Texas. After graduating in 2020, I decided to pursue my PGY1 residency in Hillsboro, Oregon at the Virginia Garcia Memorial Health Center, a federally qualified health center, focusing on providing primary care to an underserved patient population. From the moment I interviewed with this program, I knew this was the place God wanted me to be. Just as Jesus came to serve, pour his unconditional love for all, and heal the sick, I want to be his vessel and overflow God’s love to the patients and staff members. I wouldn’t be here without God’s constant grace and I want to bless others through the education and training God allowed me to receive. In the future, I want to practice as an ambulatory care pharmacist in a non-profit/FQHC clinic while serving as faculty member with a school of pharmacy and serve in international medical mission trips throughout the year.
