Program Director - Hospice and Palliative Medicine
Kaiser Permanente - Fontana Medical Center
Dr. Jason Ngo is the Program Director for the Hospice and Palliative Medicine fellowship program at the Kaiser Permanente Fontana Medical Center (San Bernardino County). Dr. Ngo’s clinical practice involves inpatient palliative consultations, outpatient palliative clinic, and the continuity of care inherent when patients with serious illness transition care from each of those clinical settings.
Dr. Ngo received his BS in Psychobiology from the University of California, Los Angeles. He wanted to explore more outside of his home state of California, so he went across the country to attain his MD degree at the Albany Medical College in Albany, New York. During his clinical rotations, Dr. Ngo was impressed with how patients and their families needed focus on their entire physical, mental, and family well-being – particularly during serious illness and at the end-of-life. He decided to return to California to complete residency training in Family Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles. His interest in symptom management in cancer and other serious illness led him to complete Hospice and Palliative Medicine fellowship training at the Kaiser Permanente Los Angeles Medical Center, where he saw the value of providing full-spectrum palliative medicine services to our vulnerable patient population. He has been in the Kaiser Permanente Fontana and Ontario Medical Centers ever since.
Dr. Ngo’s research interests include studying advanced care planning (ACP) implementation, end-of-life issues, medical aid-in-dying, and symptom management. He has been a speaker at the End of Life Option Act conference in KP, and has published articles on Kaiser Permanente’s implementation of advanced care planning in the Journal of Pain and Symptom Management.
