AUHS Attended the CHPAA 13th Annual Gala on November 10, 2023
By Alma Pineda, University Registrar
The Cambodian Health Professionals Association of America’s 13th Annual Fundraising Gala is back! After a couple of years of in-person hiatus, AUHS is honored to be in attendance for this exciting event.
With the guidance of our AUHS founder, Pastor Gregory Johnson, and Dr. Kim Dang, supported by our esteemed AUHS leaders, it was a privilege to participate in this fundraising event, as both organizations strive to continue to give back to communities locally and internationally.
Since 1997, CHPAA has played a significant role in the underserved community by promoting health through education, advocacy, community health fairs, health forums, and public service announcements. In addition, CHPAA has been providing mentorship, training, and scholarships to aspiring pre-health students. In addition to our regular scholarships, a unique “Linath Lim, MD Memorial Scholarship” has been established in honor of Dr. Linath Lim, a steadfast supporter and steward of CHPAA, who succumbed to COVID-19 in the line of duty.
This year’s gala aims to prepare for Mission 12, from January 24 to February 8, 2024, to the Province of Preah Vihear. Volunteers from all over the globe have partnered with CHPAA for this annual mission to provide free surgical, ophthalmological, medical, and dental care with free medications to thousands of those in need.
AUHS is proud to continue to support such a generous organization, and we look forward to being a part of their journey in the future.
