Dr. Lee: The Heartbeat of Health Services at Disneyland Resort
As a medical professional, Dr. Lee helps to improve the lives of all the cast members that visit the Health Services clinic at Disneyland Resort. Dr. Lee completed 11 years of school to become a board-certified doctor in the field of Occupational and Environmental Medicine.
Prior to working at Disneyland Resort, Dr. Lee was a physician for Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. He was inspired by, what were at that time, the Four Keys, when he was initially applying for his role as Chief Physician.
“These keys really spoke to the core values that Disney encompasses. I knew that I wanted to make a difference at a company as special as Disney,” said Dr. Lee
Since then, Disney has added an additional key to our company’s core values. Dr. Lee’s care for the cast members at Disneyland Resort, however, hasn’t changed. In his role he is responsible for the medical leadership, clinical oversight, and patient care delivered by all medical professions at the Disneyland Resort Health Services clinic.
“I evaluate the effectiveness of medical care and make or recommend changes to the governance team to improve the overall effectiveness of medical care delivered by clinic staff,” Dr. Lee said.
Dr. Lee collaborates with Safety, Risk Management, and Human Resources on processes and policies and provides advice on complex issues. These partnerships were especially important during the COVID pandemic because Dr. Lee was on the team that monitored and helped cast members both on property and at home with COVID.
“This time really means a lot to me as I was able to connect to our cast during a frightening time in their lives. Being able to support them in that dark time was both meaningful and impactful to me,” he said.
Dr. Lee loves getting the opportunity to work with team members from all over the resort with different backgrounds and passions. They all have the same goal in mind, to improve the health and wellness of cast members.
“Coming together with the sole purpose of improving the lives of our cast members is my favorite part of this team environment,” he said.
Dr. Lee is inspired by knowing that he makes an impact in the health and safety of our cast members through quality clinical care and identification of safety hazards. The best part of his work is seeing cast members leave the clinic better than when they came in.
