1991-1995 COMMUNITY HEALTH FAIRS
In our endeavor to promote community health awareness, we offer free comprehensive health screenings and health education to people of all ages. To increase awareness on the importance of early cancer detection and prevention, we also provide free mammography and low-cost Prostatic Specific Antigen (PSA) testing. Hundreds of participants are able to benefit from our health fairs.

1994-PRESENT CHINESE CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION PROGRAM
In the past, CPR training course materials were only available in English and Spanish. In 1994, the American Heart Association granted our Foundation the rights to translate the CPR material into Chinese. After three years of dedication and support from our sponsors and volunteers, we were able to become the "First in the World" to pioneer a complete Chinese CPR training program. We have gone the extra mile by providing this lifesaving skill to the Chinese American communities at no cost. Please refer to the CHINESE CPR CLASS SCHEDULE.

1996 -2004 "PAMC HEALTH AND WELLNESS" TELEVISION OUTREACH
Our nationally televised weekly health educational program on the TVB Jade Channel and satellite engages healthcare providers to share their knowledge and insight with our viewers. Our partnership efforts focus on improving the accessibility of health education and contributing toward a healthier community.

1998 MEDICAL CONFERENCES
In view of the rapid changes in the present healthcare arena, PAMC Health Foundation, the Chinese American Medical Association of Southern California and Pacific Alliance Medical Center jointly hosted the "9th International Medical Conference on Health Problems Related to the Chinese in North America" in Los Angeles in 1998. Conferences like this one aim to congregate physicians and scholars to discuss pertinent and specific health problems related to the Chinese in North America.

2000-PRESENT "PAMC HEALTH AND WELLNESS" QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER
As PAMC Health Foundation continually "strives for excellence," we seek new and innovative ideas to improve the quality of healthcare in the Asian community. Thus, in 2000 we recognized the need to publish a quarterly health newsletter to disseminate reliable health information from an authoritative source. The newsletter carries important health information and references written by voluntary medical experts and edited by practicing physicians. The newsletter is distributed nationwide to the Asian community at no cost. We have received much praise for the innovation of delivering quality healthcare information in such a way that is comprehendible to the general public. As such, it has been an invaluable supplement.

To receive the “PAMC Health and Wellness” Quarterly Newsletter, please write to PAMC Health Foundation, P.O. Box 86966, Los Angeles, CA 90086-0966 or refer to the NEWSLETTER ARCHIVE.
