1-Cambodian Health Promotion Project, 
    "Promoting health through education.” 

      In this program, participants learn how to 
improve communication with their doctor, learn 
about illnesses, particularly those diseases 
common in the Cambodian community and learn how 
to treat and prevent them. The emphasis of the 
Cambodian Health Promotion Project is creating a 
healthy lifestyle. 
      Our 9-week program of classes allows 
participants to learn about health issues in an 
informal, fun atmosphere. We encourage 
participants to ask questions and suggest topics 
to explore. For many Cambodians living in 
America, dealing with health care issues can be 
a very stressful experience. One of the goals of 
this program is to work with Cambodian Americans 
and their health care providers to develop 
culturally sensitive methods of dealing with 
health problems. 
       Transportation is available for those who 
need rides to and from class. 
       Classes host special guest speakers 
knowledgeable about exercise, food and diseases 
such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, 
cholesterol, high blood pressure, family 
problems, adjustment issues, sadness and other 
emotions frequently felt by survivors of the 
Cambodian Killing Fields.

4- Elderly Assistance Program 
        
       Provide the Cambodian American Community 
with cultural sensitive and linguistically 
appropriate services to assist Cambodian seniors 
who live in Lowell. 
       This program seeks to act as a bridge, 
informing the Cambodian American community of 
existing services as well as collaborating with 
service providers to develop new models of care 
for our Elders. For many Cambodian American 
elders, dealing with health issues can be 
stressful, especially when the elders lack a 
traditional family support structure. One of the 
principal goals of the Elder Services program is 
to work with elders and their health care 
providers to develop a culturally sensitive 
method of treating and caring for the Cambodian 
population.
       The Elderly Assistance Program offers to 
the Cambodian-American Elders (60 and over) the 
following services:
        - Language assistance and translation
        - Transportation
        - Doctor’s appointments 
        - Medication and Follow-Up
        - Medicaid and Medicare Applications
        - Health screenings/health promotion 
        - Information and referrals
        - Housing Assistance applications 
        - Fuel Assistance applications
        - Monthly Senior Health Clinic
        - Monthly Senior Lunch
