Meet Our Advocates: Dr. Melissa Wong

Where do you call home?
New Jersey.

What are your clinical or research interests? I’m interested in optimizing patient education in IUD self-removal.

What current policy issue motivates you to be an advocate? It’s really difficult to pick just one issue. The radicalized movements against the right to abortion, LGBTQ+ rights, and CRT are issues that motivate me to be an advocate.

What local justice-centered organization do you wish we knew about? The West Fund is an abortion fund based in El Paso, Texas that supports the community through education and reproductive justice-centered leadership.

What is bringing you joy these days? I love exploring the outdoors and going for a hike. Spending time with my friends and family (including my two cats) are what bring me joy these days.
