Donna Ching fang Kao, Giving Back to the Community

If one were to look at Donna Kao, a real estate professional currently living and working in Southern California, it would be hard to discern what her background is. Many would believe that she has always been involved in the real estate industry of Southern California because of the massive success she has already found in her career. However, this could not be farther from the truth. In fact, her career began far from both California and the real estate industry. She was actually born and raised in Taipei, Taiwan by her mother and father, a registered nurse and a medial physician, respectively. This upbringing motivated her to begin her career, not in real estate as many would imaging, but in medicine. She always harbored a deeply rooted desire to help people, and that is why she was drawn to the medical community in the first place.

For Donna Kao, building bridged between cultures, something that she is well known for in California, was not something that she felt defined here career at this point. Due to the motivations of her family, while living in Taiwan she accepted a scholarship to attend the University of Public Health and Nursing in Taipei, where she received her Bachelors of Science in nursing. She next went on to work in a hospital as a registered nurse. However, it was this experience that led to a serendipitous moment in her career. She met and developed close relationships with two real estate developers who were in the middle of building multiple hospitals, clinics, physical therapy centers, and other medical facilities. This sparked her desire to help people and she realized that she might be able to help many more people if she made a career shift. She decided to stop practicing nursing and instead pursued her real estate license, first in Taipei, but then later again in California after she relocated to the United States.

Having come from Taiwan fairly recently, Donna Kao was familiar with the challenges that members of the Asian community faced as immigrants. She also realized that many of them were not getting access to adequate health care, despite being entitled to it. Because of this, she first founded a free clinic for the Chinese community of Southern California. Next, she founded a specifically Asian marketing and consulting office in the Monterey Park Hospital so that the larger Asian community would be aware of the resources that were available to them.

The success of Donna Ching Fang Kao, video DailyMotion, has come from her desire to help people, no matter what industry she was in. For more information, visit her social media outlets.

Donna Kao. Monterey Park, California and Vocational Qualifications

“Permanence, perseverance and persistence in spite of all obstacles, discouragements, and impossibilities: It is this, that in all things distinguishes the strong soul from the weak,” is a quotation that could have been written with Donna Ching Fang Kao in mind. A woman who is unafraid of confronting challenges head on, a person who regards adversity as a means by which to gain fresh experiences, and a dedicated philanthropist unafraid to stand up for those weaker than herself, Donna Kao is a person to be studied as much as admired.

She was born in Taiwan to a physician father and a mother who worked as a nurse. Unsuprisingly, perhaps, Donna Kao followed in the parental footsteps, being awarded a Nursing Education Scholarship enabling her to study at the prestigious University of Public Health Nursing in Taipei, where she gained her Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing. Her career seemed to have been mapped out for her, but, following a meeting with two prominent Taiwanese real estate developers who were actively involved in projects  building hospitals, clinics, physical therapy centers, and other complementary medical facilities, prompted Ms. Kao to obtain a real estate licence of her own and it is at this stage of her career that people first began referring to her as Donna Ching Fang Kao, Monterey Park, California, real estate guru.

Her next big step saw her emigrating to the United States. She received her Real Estate License from the State of California and, recalling her experiences as a newly-emigrated Taiwanese woman, establish a number of healthcare services for the local Asian community. But the community needed more than just healthcare facilities. For Donna Kao, helping people get vocational qualifications in California became a matter of urgency. Naturally, she had personal experience of negotiating the labyrinthine workings of the U.S. Immigration Bureau, and drew on her experiences by establishing an Asian marketing and consulting office for the Monterey Park Hospital, where she helped clients looking to relocate to the United States.

Throughout her extraordinary career path, Donna Kao has maintained her ambition to build and improve on the relationships between China, Taiwan, and the United States. As a healthcare professional, Ms. Kao has a deeply rooted desire to help the people around her and the people within her community. By tackling both the domestic health-related challenges of the Asian community, as well as the bureaucratic challenges facing those that have just started their process of integration, Donna Kao is a respected businesswoman in her own right, and by providing such a role model hopes to build a stronger Asian community in the United States with the resources needed to thrive.

Donna Ching Fang Kao, Presentation On Slideshare

'The Success of Donna Ching Fang Kao,' (Presentation on Slideshare) is a testament to an individual who spent a considerable portion of her life selflessly helping those less fortunate than herself. It is deeply refreshing to read of a figure – successful and highly-respected in her chosen fields – who genuinely believes in the positive effect of giving to others in an attempt to preserve human dignity. Donna Ching Fang Kao is one such person and her life story is well worth repeating.

Born and raised in Taiwan, with a physician as a father, and a registered nurse as a mother, it comes as no great surprise that she also made the decision to join the healthcare industry. She received a Nursing Education Scholarship that enabled her to enrol at the prestigious University of Public Health and Nursing in Taipei, where she was awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing. At this point in her career, it seemed she was well on the way to fulfilling a long and useful life in the service of public health. However, for certain types of driven individuals, things never appear to go as first imagined. She was fortunate enough to meet with two influential figures in the Taiwanese real estate community, who were engaged in building several hospitals, clinics, physical therapy centers – alongside a raft of complementary medical facilities – and their commitment to raising the standards of healthcare led Donna Kao to obtain a Real Estate Licence of her own in Taiwan and then, after emigrating to the U.S., a Licence from the State of California.

While practicing her trade in southern California, Donna Kao has managed to create time enough to found a free clinic for the Chinese and Vietnamese communities, as well as creating an Asian marketing and consulting office for the Monterey Park Hospital. The success of both these projects encouraged her to obtain a Spa Hospitality Management Certificate, which enabled her to establish the Beverley Hills Anti-Aging Group Clinic. Due to her multi-faceted experience in real estate development, healthcare and business, Donna Kao travels frequently between Vietnam,Taiwan, China and the United States attempting to realize her goal of fostering enhanced international relations between China and the U.S. Indeed, for Donna Kao, helping the Vietnamese and American cultures connect is an issue of paramount importance.

“The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention,” is a phrase well worth considering in full. We are so constantly inundated with reports of self-serving public figures fulsomely declaring their philanthropic credentials while engaged in activities which, more often than not, are injurious to the weaker elements of society that the mention of a selfless act is greeted with cynicism – if not hostility. It is an accusation that would be impossible to level at Donna Ching Fang Kao.

Donna Kao has found success in real estate, healthcare, and beauty. As an anti-aging consultant, she is currently owner of successful ‘Beverly Hills Anti-Aging Group Clinic’ in California, after training in the United States for her SPA Hospitality Management Certificate. Her background however is in real estate, in Taiwan. Donna Kao was a property advisor for several lucrative firms in Taiwan, who invested mainly in healthcare developments. The medical industry was one which Donna Kao has always maintained a strong interest in, as both of her parents are medical professionals. She herself also undertook medical training in Taiwan in order to further broaden career opportunities.

It is as a result of this diverse background that she has been able to flourish in the United States. Although she is kept busy in the day to day running of her beauty practice, she is also still involved in property. As an advisor for Qiao Garden Group, a commercial real estate development company, she has been able to aid in the development of a range of properties in the United States and in China. She also provides consultancy to any Taiwanese expatriates who seek advice when relocating to California, and can offer her own experiences as well as a professional opinion on procedures and best practices.

For Donna Kao enough is never enough, and her ability to adapt across cultures and across sectors is a truly worthy pursuit, and one which has given her a strong foundation for career success and longevity. From each experience she has learned to build up success in order to provide unique knowledge of both healthcare and real estate, in both American and Chinese cultures.

It has become increasingly common for families from countries in South-East Asia, to seek American education for their children. Flying across the Pacific to experience the full quality of the American education system is an expensive and complicated task. Families save up all their lives to be able to afford this opportunity for their children. Therefore it's essential that when making that application and decision, everything goes as smoothly as possible. Luckily for these families, there is the opportunity for some help.

Donna Ching Fang Kao - Fostering Community for Recent Immigrants

If you ask Donna Ching Fang Kao what the most important aspect of a professional career is, she is definitely not going to say money. Ms. Kao is an established professional who has built a career on the needs and challenges facing her local community. Rather than selfishly pursuing a career that is self-serving, Ms. Kao has used the personal challenges in her life to motivate her career path in order to help the people around her. As the daughter of a medical physician and registered nurse, Ms. Kao initially started her career in the healthcare industry. After receiving a Nursing Education Scholarship, she decided to pursue her Bachelor’s of Science at the University of Public Health Nursing School in Taipei, Taiwan.

While her foundational medical expertise is an important aspect of her career, another title was important to Donna Kao –a respectedbusinesswoman. After forming relationships with two major real estate developers in Taiwan who were building hospitals, clinics, physical therapy centers, and other medical facilities, Ms. Kao realized that real estate could be a means of bringing healthcare to more people than just her patients. After moving to the United States, she obtained her real estate license from the State of California. Now, armed with a medical degree and a real estate license, Ms. Kao established a free clinic for the Chinese community in Southern California.

She also received a Spa Hospitality Management Certificate and used this credential to open the Beverly Hills Anti-Aging Group clinic. Within her local community of Asian immigrants, she wanted to bring accessible healthcare to a percent of the population that otherwise not receive it. For the last two years, Donna Kao has been working as the Professional Elderly Care Consultant for the Qiao Garden Group, formerly the Watanabe Group. The Qiao Garden Group, established in 1989, engages in commercial real estate investment and development. This includes real estate in the chain vacation health industry, chain office industry, high-end dining industry, and the cultural media industry.

For Donna Kao – diversity and real estate go hand in hand. Her personal experiences as an immigrant give her an intimate understanding of the challenges that face people trying to work and live in the United States. Understanding these bureaucratic challenges led Ms. Kao to establish an Asian specific marketing and consulting office for the Monterey Park Hospital. This service helps immigrants deal with the bureaucratic challenges of immigrating to the United States. Her ultimate goal is to improve the quality of life for immigrants in the United States, as well as improving the relations between the United States and China.
