Getting to Know
Dr. Mayda Antun,
Chief Medical Officer at IMC Health
It makes sense that when asked to describe great teams, words like knowledge, work ethic, process-focused and passionate come to her mind. Mayda knows she is a perfectionist “to a fault” and works constantly on not letting that search for perfection get in the way of good. However, she is certain
that “you will never achieve perfection, but if you aim for perfection, you will achieve excellence”. Mayda was born and raised in Tampa, Florida by Cuban parents who emigrated to the U.S in 1947. Growing up, her role model was her dad, a voracious reader and a self-taught man who could solve complicated math exercises with the same easiness he could draft architectural plans.
Dr. Antun began working at CAC as one of their primary care physicians handling both outpatient and inpatient work, later becoming Chief of the Hospitalists Group. At this point, her CEO and one of her most cherished mentors, Mr. Luis Lamela, noticed her commitment and sponsored her MBA at the University of Miami. At CAC she worked on both the administrative and clinical areas, later deciding to stay on the administration track only. When asked if she ever regretted sticking to administration only, she shared that it was hard in the beginning as she “missed the patient-doctor interaction and the instant gratification of seeing patients progress and get healthier”. However, she learned that through her administration work “she could impact a much larger population through facilitating services for them”.
I do” and you can see it in her eyes as they fill up with joy and love for them. “I wanted my kids to be kind, noble, to be good people, to be productive, and they both are”. Mayda has four grandchildren, two of which are twins born in 2019, who brought along sleepless nights and all their firsts and whom she enjoys without losing a beat at IMC Health.
