Asian Pacific Health Foundation came back to Van Hanh Temple in Santee on September 23 during the Mid-Autumn Festival, screening regular members at the temple as well as community dwellers. We thanked Abbott Thich Thiện Ngộ and Dr. Hổ Son Ngô, Vietnamese Community leader, for facilitating and coordinating the event.
Dr. Tram Nguyen performed HbA1c and cholesterol tests for patients, and Thuan Tran, RN drew blood samples for hepatitis B and C. James Cordero, Vivian Ngo, Megan Cheng and Zaki Zadah coordinated the registration, hypertension, osteoporosis and blood test stations. Nguyen Vo oversaw the operations. Dr. Hai Tran who lives in nearby Tierra Santa, and Dr. Tino Tran provided consults to patients after they had gone through the tests.
