On April 17, 2026, we had the privilege of attending the Los Angeles County Cambodian Employees Association (LACCEA) New Year celebration, where CHPAA was honored as the event’s distinguished honoree. We were especially honored to receive acknowledgment and awards from the California State Treasurer Fiona Ma, California Senator Lena Gonzales, Councilwoman Suely Saro, Jeffry Prang, Los Angeles Office of Assesor and LACCEA for CHPAA’s mission to advance healthcare in underserved communities.

On behalf of the CHPAA Board, we extend our heartfelt thanks to the community for its continued support. We are particularly appreciative of our dedicated volunteers, whose tireless efforts make our work possible. Without their commitment, CHPAA would not be able to continue serving underserved communities.
