This month, Flushing Hospital Medical Center is proud to recognize Leann Bugarin, our Lead Case Management Assistant, as she celebrates 20 years of dedicated service.
Leann’s journey began in the Philippines, where she completed her education through graduate school before immigrating to the United States in 2006. She now calls Queens home, where she lives with her 8-year-old daughter, her greatest source of pride.
Outside of work, Leann stays active and curious. She enjoys swimming, ice skating, skiing, camping, and paintball. Her playlist is as diverse as her interests: R&B, 90s hits, reggae, and K-pop are all in rotation. When she’s not on the move, you’ll find her at the movies or spending time with family and friends.
A passionate traveler, Leann has explored Canada, Mexico, Florida, Las Vegas, and Arizona. She hopes to one day travel to Europe, Italy, France, and Greece. Her love for culture extends to food. She enjoys Asian fusion, Italian, American, and Caribbean cuisine.
Leann’s life is anchored by family, faith, health, meaningful friendships, and personal growth. These values shape her sense of purpose and wellbeing, both at home and at work.
For Leann, working at Flushing Hospital Medical Center is more than a job, it’s a calling. She thrives in an environment where she feels respected, valued, and part of a team that puts patients first. Collaborating with supportive colleagues and contributing to patient care gives her work deep meaning.
After two decades, Leann’s commitment to excellence hasn’t wavered. We are incredibly fortunate to have her as part of the Flushing Hospital team and look forward to many more years of her leadership, compassion, and expertise.
