"Patient Outreach strives to develop meaningful and long-lasting relationships within all communities that we serves. This quarter we were able to reach over 500 patients with our healthcare and lifestyle newsletter, 375 patients with our mailing system, and over 657 patients with our patient contacting project, keeping them informed of VCH’s upcoming events! We are truly grateful and proud of our PO community, and cannot wait to accomplish even more in future quarters!!!"

Read all about what our Navigators did this past quarter from our committee heads, Nhi Pham and Andrew Nguyen!

"Once again, Navigators have helped run a successful Health Fair by guiding patients through the venue, checking in our providers, assisting patients with parking, and collecting feedback from patients! This quarter, we also assembled the Health Fair layout, created posters for stations, wrote thank you cards for providers, created more language buttons, and put together registration packets for our patients. Additionally, Navigators had a chance to learn more about Health Fair through our HF Pictionary and HF Scavenger Hunt!"

Read all about what our Language Learning Committee did this past quarter from our committee heads, Anson Pham and Natalie Bui!

"This quarter L² moved onto our "intermediate" portion of our curriculum where we focused on more health site/health fair oriented lessons. We focused our lessons on Viet that members could actually use at both sites and HF as well as overall more healthcare oriented terminology and usage. Our final project focused on making cheat sheets that members could use at Health Fair and since Tết was this quarter, we also had a very fun Tết lesson which incorporated the cultural aspect of L²!"

Read all about what our Language Development Committee did this past quarter from our committee head, Mindy Nguyen!

"This busy quarter, LD had our Stations in Vietnamese and Health Site in Spanish workshops to help our members feel more comfortable interacting with all patients during site and at Health Fair. In addition to reviewing and learning new language vocabulary, our members worked hard on LD’s Special Site, learning about the effects and stigmas of cognitive/mental health that we may find in the Vietnamese community. Our members planned and produced materials for a variety of fun cognitive-building games and translated different texts from short stories to tongue twisters in addition to meeting and talking to new people in their teams!!"
