Phoebe Chi, MD – Founder – Pendants for a Cause

Phoebe Chi, MD, MPH, is a physician, public health professional, educator, and author whose humanitarian efforts have reached communities across Central America to sub-Saharan Africa. She received her undergraduate degree from the University of Texas at Austin, her medical training from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, and her postgraduate degrees in public and global health from the University of North Texas Health Science Center.

With a passion for health promotion and the management of chronic disease, Dr. Chi has developed national programs aimed at improving quality of life and reducing hospitalizations for individuals living with long-term health conditions. She is also the author of Being Empowered for a Healthy Heart: A personal guide to taking control of your health while living with chronic conditions—a poetry-infused health guide described by readers as “chicken soup for both the body and the soul.”

In addition to her work in clinical and public health, Dr. Chi is an experienced medical and scientific editor. She collaborates with researchers and academic authors from around the world to refine and elevate their manuscripts for publication in peer-reviewed journals—supporting the advancement of science and global health through the power of clear, compelling communication.

In September 2019, following the devastation caused by Hurricane Dorian in the Bahamas, Dr. Chi founded Pendants for a Cause as a way to respond to urgent medical needs from afar. Unable to be there in person, she turned to art—handcrafting sea glass jewelry to raise funds and awareness for those affected. From that moment, Pendants for a Cause was born.

Every pendant is made with intention and purpose, with 100% of proceeds going toward supporting pediatric medical charities and medically vulnerable communities around the world.
