This publication is the result of a 14-month process from October 2006 to December 2007 that shares and analyzes responses from a series of focus groups and over 400 surveys administered to healthcare providers, youth, residents, seniors, and workers in Historic Filipinotown, a neighborhood in the City of Los Angeles. Key findings in the final report may provide patients, providers, and public policymakers significant insights regarding health and healthcare delivery to the Los Angeles Pilipino American community. The report focuses on four factors: Religion, Family Decision Making, Fictive Kinship Networks, and Language. HFHN is comprised of Search to Involve Pilipino Americans (SIPA - fiscal agency), Asian Pacific Health Care Venture (APHCV), Filipino American Service Group, Inc. (FASGI), and Pilipino Workers Center (PWC). SEMICS, LLC – a private research and evaluation consultancy - helped design the study and facilitate the collaborative efforts of the consortium agencies. We hope that you will find the report beneficial to your own work or personal interests and should you have any questions, please feel free to call Peter Corpus, SIPA Director of Development & Communications at (213)382-1819 x104. Many thanks for your continued interest and support of SIPA, Historic Filipinotown and the greater Los Angeles Pilipino American community! Joel F. Jacinto Download the report here: pdf
