Program areas at Medical Educational Missions and Outreach
Nhan Hoa Health Fair (September 2023): As part of our commitment to community health, MEMO participated in the 2023 Nhan Hoa Health Fair in Garden Grove, CA, where we joined efforts with Nhan Hoa Clinic to serve over 400 attendees. Our trained MEMO volunteers provided essential screenings, including blood glucose and cholesterol tests, as well as health education to support underserved communities. Through our collaboration with Nhan Hoa, we helped make these services accessible to individuals who often face barriers to healthcare. This event reflects our goal of creating a healthier community by addressing the needs of low-income and uninsured individuals in Orange County.
Medical Mission Trip to Vietnam (July 2023): MEMOs 2023 annual mission trip to Vietnam made a profound impact through various health, educational, and humanitarian initiatives. We sponsored 199 scholarships, enabling students to pursue their education, and visited three orphanages to offer donations and support. Additionally, MEMO funded 19 life-saving heart surgeries for children with congenital heart disease. In Soc Trang, our team provided three days of free medical and dental services, along with free medication, reaching over 4,500 patients. This mission exemplifies MEMOs dedication to improving health and educational access for underserved communities in Vietnam.
One Community Health Fair (November 2023): The 2023 OC Health Fair by MEMO, in partnership with VPASC and other collaborators, served around 448 patients with essential medical, and dental services. Over 100 MEMO student volunteers from multiple Southern California universities (UCI, UCSD, USC, and UCLA) came together to provide care, including dental treatments for 105 patients and consultations or referrals for 61 others. This event highlighted MEMOs commitment to expanding healthcare access for underserved communities in Orange County.
