GALA HONOREES DR. HAI SUN PARK Humanitarian Award Dr. Hai Sun Park graduated from Yonsei University, College of Medicine and completed her residency at Cabrini Medical School, and her fellowship at SUNY Health Science Center at Brooklyn. Dr. Park is licensed to practice in New York and New Jersey, and is board certified in the subspecialties of Hematology and Medical Oncology. Dr. Park is one of the most sought out medical oncologists in Korean American community and is devoted to taking care of her patients, 24x7, week days and weekends. Many cancer patients speak highly of her dedication, state of the art medical knowledge, and selflessness in taking care of patients, especially those in need. Dr. Park has saved countless lives throughout her medical career spanning over 40 years.

GILEAD - FOCUS PROGRAM Population Health Hero Award Gilead’s Frontline of Communities in the United States(FOCUS) program was launched in 2010 to develop replicable model programs that embody best practices in screening for HIV and HCV and then linking the patients to healthcare. In 2016, Holy Name started a collaboration with Gilead Sciences to begin screening patients for HCV. FOCUS aims to make HCV/Hepatitis C screening for baby boomers a standard of medical care and reduce the number of undiagnosed individuals. The Emergency Department at Holy Name has taken a leading role by integrating HCV screening into the existing workflow to increase routine screening and optimize linkages to care. Thanks to the partnership with Gilead’s FOCUS program, Holy Name has screened over 10,000 baby boomers to date in the ER for Hepatitis C, improving linkage to care before the disease gets advanced to a later stage.

MRS. JUDITH CHUNG Visionary Award Mrs. Judith Chung is a pioneer, an inspirational leader, and a role model for many women in Korea and U.S. In the 1960’s she worked at Bank of America, Korea branch, and the U.S. Embassy in Korea, setting visible leadership for women who had extremely limited career opportunities at the time in Korea. Mrs. Chung moved to the U.S. in the 1970s and was instrumental in establishing Koreatown in New York City. By 1975, Mrs. Chung and her family opened Cici Pharmacy and gift shop on 32nd Street - one of the first Korean American businesses in K-Town. Politicians, celebrities, Korean immigrants, and tourists as well as residents would shop there. Mrs. Chung has two sons, two daughters, eight grandchildren, and a greatgrandson. She resides in Fort Lee, New Jersey and has been a patient and a proud supporter of Holy Name Medical Center.

Dear Friend, So much has been accomplished since we celebrated in this very place five years ago. As of today – the 10th Anniversary of Asian Health Services (AHS) at Holy Name Medical Center – we’ve not only achieved status as the go-to healthcare resource for the Asian population in our region, but we’ve earned national industry recognition as a top performer in culturally sensitive care. We’ve expanded beyond our original Korean Medical Program and into the Chinese, Japanese, Filipino and Indian communities, offering a comprehensive program of primary and specialty medical services, prevention and support programs, and culturally relevant amenities.

US Census Bureau statistics show that Asians are the fastest growing ethnic group in our country and New Jersey is home to the third largest Asian American population in the nation. Holy Name is honored to assume a leadership role in making health care accessible for so many individuals and has, in fact, become the medical home for more than 60,000, helping them navigate a complex healthcare system efficiently and with dignity. For us, “population health” is not just industry jargon; it represents that aspect of our mission, which calls for providing the highest attainable level of health for all members of our diverse community.

Tonight, we are recognizing three very special friends and supporters of AHS: Mrs. Judith Chung, credited for her pioneering work in the establishment of Koreatown in New York City, is receiving the Visionary Award. Dr. Hai Sun Park, a medical oncologist on staff at Holy Name Medical Center, is receiving the Humanitarian Award. The Gilead Sciences Focus Program, winner of our Population Health Hero Award, has allowed us to screen over 10,000 individuals for hepatitis C in our ER, promoting early detection to save numerous lives.

Thank you and congratulations to the entire AHS team, particularly, Dr. Hee K. Yang, Medical Director, and Kyung Hee Choi, Vice President, for their vision and commitment; to our 280 physician partners and our numerous volunteers; to our individual and corporate sponsors and friends, and most of all, to our patients and their families, who entrust us with their most precious asset: their health.

Dear Friend,

Kyung-Hee Choi

Hee K. Yang

Welcome to the 10th Anniversary Celebration of Holy Name Medical Center’s Asian Health Services. Tonight is a special evening to commemorate the extraordinary accomplishments of AHS and the remarkable lifechanging results that have come forth from these efforts. From the inception of our Korean Medical Program in 2008 to its expansion into specialized programs for the Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, and Indian communities over the past decade, AHS has seized upon the most pressing medical concerns of New Jersey’s growing Asian-American population and put into place services that have made a measurable, meaningful impact.

Ten years ago, Holy Name was one of the first medical centers in the United States to recognize and start addressing the critical steps needed to break down cultural, language, and financial barriers that immigrants and first-generation residents face in seeking healthcare before they become seriously ill. Through the development of two service pillars -- medical care and community outreach programs – AHS has transformed Holy Name into a “medical home” for 250,000 Asians living in the greater New Jersey metropolitan area.

In 2018, AHS is the most comprehensive program of its kind in the country and is recognized as a national model for culturally sensitive healthcare. AHS has received White House recognition for launching a viral hepatitis screening program and was honored with the inaugural Population Health Hero Award from the New Jersey Department of Health. Our program has also garnered national media attention, including coverage from The Atlantic, NBC News, Modern Healthcare, and more.

This year, more than 60,000 patient visits will be recorded at Holy Name’s main campus in Teaneck and satellite offices in Bergen County. We will debut a new physical space onsite called the Asian Health Center, which will offer medical concierge services that include bilingual care coordinators who will help patients navigate their healthcare experience. Through a coalition of HNMC staff; 280 Asian physicians; 200+ churches and community organizations; 900+ donors; and hundreds of volunteers, AHS will screen more than 10,000 community members within six major outreach campaigns: “Walk for Mom” Breast Cancer Awareness, Hepatitis/Liver Health, Mental Health, Diabetes Awareness/Asian Diabetes Center, Annual Health Festival, and Five Major Cancers. An additional 150,000 Asians will benefit from AHS’s bilingual educational and media efforts this year.

On behalf of the Asian-American community in New Jersey and Asian Health Services, we extend our deepest gratitude for your generosity and for your ongoing support of our programs and services. It is a privilege to partner with you as we look forward to improving the health of all those who entrust their health to us.

PATIENT TESTIMONY

Yong Hee Kim Yong Hee Kim In 2013, I went to Holy Name Medical Center to get surgery because I had fallen. I was able to stay comfortable in the hospital because I had a Korean translator. I was also provided with a variety of Korean food that I was able to choose from. My experience with Holy Name Medical Center was very great. When I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t walk after the surgery, many nurses and staff were there to help me, which led to my quick recovery. With their time and effort, I was able to start from the very beginning to practice walking.

Every time I have come to Holy Name Medical Center, I was treated properly and helped 100% with my needs. Until now I am very grateful, and I've been able to injoy the blessings that I got from Holy Name Medical Center.

ASIAN HEALTH SERVICES Our Community Outreach Campaigns AHS reaches beyond the walls of Holy Nameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main campus in Teaneck through year-round community health outreach.

Initiatives focus on preventive health screenings and education delivered directly within the community setting. AHS conducts 100+ community health screenings each year, including hypertension, obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol, hepatitis, and other chronic conditions.

Walk For Mom Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign The Walk for Mom Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign builds awareness of the importance of breast health and breast cancer prevention and treatment. Funds raised through the annual Walk for Mom walkathon help women receive free screening mammograms each year.

AHS STAFF & VOLUNTEERS Staff members are the heart and soul of Asian Health Services. Whether providing patient navigation assistance, checking in and visiting patients, supporting hospital staff with translation, or planning and implementing preventive health screenings and seminars, our staff members work tirelessly to fulfill our mission of delivering the most culturally sensitive health care to community members.

“Asian Health Services staff members have the genuine passion and heart to serve the community by providing culturally and linguistically sensitive support that our patients need and want. Serving the community is the mission of AHS. We look at each patient and community member as VIP.” Vicki (Won Hee) Park Director of Community Programs and Philanthropic Development Asian Health Services

"I appreciate the challenge and opportunities that I have received while working at Holy Name. I am passionate about sharing the best resources that Holy Name has to offer to Asian communities. My plan and dream is to create and support an environment where healthy kids, healthy families, and healthy communities can thrive."

Anna Wang, MPH AHS Manager of Community Programs Program Manager, Chinese Medical Program

2018 ASIAN HEALTH SERVICES

“AHS’s staff members make up the nucleus of our program. Their seemingly endless energy, as well as single minded and selfless dedication to help their respective community members make up the essence of our program. They drive our program to accomplish our simple and clear goal of helping those in need.”

Dr. Hee K. Yang Chief Medical Officer Asian Health Services

Volunteers offer tremendous support for all AHS services and programs -- assisting in office and administrative tasks, setting up and taking on various roles at events, and lending a helping hand in any way possible. Volunteering for AHS offers a rewarding experience to students and adults alike, to gain or to learn more about working in the healthcare field, while generously helping the community with their time and talents.

“I began volunteering for the Korean Medical Program (Asian Health Services) at Holy Name in 2011, when I was a freshman in high school.

I initially volunteered as a Korean translator, then took on more responsibilities, such as working on health fairs. With each event, I became a better public speaker and learned how to be a liaison between different groups of people. I credit my advisors at Holy Name for teaching me many qualities of leadership. Mrs. Kyung Hee Choi has inspired me to dedicate my life to medicine and public service.

I have taken these experiences and community support onwards to Rhode Island, where I am now a student at Brown University and Alpert Medical School, majoring in Public Health. The work I first began at Holy Name – serving my community through medicine and public health – is something I will always reflect on and look back on with gratitude, knowing it has prepared me well for the future."

May 19, 2018 I am pleased to join the Holy Name Medical Center Asian Health Services and their honorees for the 10th Anniversary Gala. The Asian Health Services (AHS) is one of the top Asian-American health service programs in the tri-state area. I appreciate your ability to compassionately provide culturally sensitive medical services and exceptional outreach in the community. This is made possible, in part, because of tonight’s honorees, Mrs. Judith Chung, Dr. Hai Sun Park, and the Gilead-Focus Program.

Mrs. Chung has been a visionary throughout her career. I commend her hard work and dedication in everything that she does, including her active roles in Korean-American community groups. Mrs. Chung is an inspiration to us all and her accomplishments are an example of her perseverance and innovativeness.

Dr. Hai Sun Park has shown outstanding compassion and commitment in her career as an Oncologist. Her round-the-clock devotion to her patients is admirable. Dr. Park’s selflessness in her care for her patients directly reflects why the Holy Name AHS is successful.

The studies done by the Gilead Focus Project have produced research that help the Holy Name AHS implement needed healthcare services that are associated with the community. Their work has enabled Holy Name to provide Asian patients with high quality health care.

I would also like to extend congratulations to Michael Maron, Kyung Hee Choi, and Hee Yang, who have spearheaded this program.

Once again, congratulations to all of the honorees. I thank you for your contributions to the Holy Name AHS and I wish Holy Name Medical Center continued success.

Sincerely,

Valerie Vainieri Huttle

PATIENT TESTIMONY

Liren Mei Liren Mei The first time I came to Holy Name, I had a colonoscopy. After that I had a nasal surgery and other tests. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the biggest problem for Chinese Americans? The language barrier! But they solved the problem with staff that can provide translation and helped with various procedures and tests in the hospital. They also provided transportation that picked me up from home. After that, they sent us home safely. During the process, their Asian staff were very patient to us about the issues we should pay attention to and the disease weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re dealing with. So, we feel as warm as coming home. I told my friends they should go to Holy Name Medical Center for any problems. They will provide the best service for you.

The Grace and Mercy Foundation supports the poor and oppressed, and helps people learn, grow, and serve.

We do this by making grants and sharing the practice of reading and listening in community. Our approach to grantmaking is that of thoughtful investors. We partner with organizations that bring tangible value to their communities, and we target overlooked or unfunded opportunities. We also help the people of God love the Word of God in community through Just Show Up.

PATIENT TESTIMONY

In Kap Park In Kap Park I received stomach cancer surgery from Dr. Hee K. Yang. I was so grateful because he took good care of me like a family and a friend. Dr. Yang checked my condition every morning while I was hospitalized. I have had a comprehensive examination and consultation at the Annual Health Festival of the Korean Medical Program every year. My wife and I wait for the health fair and take the annual checkup once a year at the Holy Name Medical Center. Many Korean Americans are appreciative of Holy Name Medical Centers Korean Program and its Services and their health services.

NATIONAL RECOGNITION The difference being made by Holy Name’s Asian Health Services has received recognition in the national media, and by the highest levels of government. This brings much-needed attention to the importance of culturally sensitive medical care.

A decade-old hospital program for Asian Americans wants to help reduce health disparities NBC NEWS – ASIAN-AMERICA

February 26, 2018

The Atlantic

February 26, 2018

Kyung Hee Choi, VP of Asian Health Services at Holy Name Medical Center, is a featured speaker on The Demographics of Care panel at the Pulse

A decade-old hospital program for Asian Americans wants to help reduce health disparities "The Asian Health Services program at Holy Name Medical Center in New Jersey employs multilingual staff and offers targeted disease screening programs."

Patients meet with Asian Health Services staff at Holy Name Medical Center during Annual Health Festival on Sept. 26, 2015 at Holy Name Medical Center in Teaneck, New Jersey.

Kyung Hee Choi had worked on Wall Street for more than two decades when she decided to take an early retirement in 2002, right after the 9/11 attacks. An immigrant from South Korea, Choi believed she was living the American Dream and wanted to do something altruistic after being shaken by tragedy. "I said, 'I've gotten so much help from American people, American community, and I have to give back,'" Choi said.

While volunteering, she recognized that the approaches some health care providers took — “just sitting there, just waiting for patients to arrive” — contrasted with the ones she had learned about developing customer service.

Working with what she knew best, Choi created a business model for a “Korean Medical Program,” now housed at Holy Name Medical Center in New Jersey.

The initiative hired Korean-speaking staff members, introduced Korean cuisine to the hospital’s menu, and participating doctors developed medical screening programs for diseases like cancer and diabetes.

Now in its 10th year, the program has been a success, serving upwards of 45,000, according to hospital. It has also been adapted to serve Chinese, Filipino, Indian and Japanese communities as Asian Health Services. “With community hospitals like Holy Name Medical Center, our mission is to serve our community,” Choi said. “Our community has changed a lot. It’s inevitable that our priority has to be focusing on the fastest growing, and the largest pockets of our population.”

Asian Americans are the fastest growing Kyung Hee Choi ethnic group in the U.S., according to the Pew Research Center, going from 11.9 million to 20.4 million people between 2000 and 2015. But as the community grows, it has had to deal with health needs. Research presented in 2016 by the Center for Asian Health at Temple University found that Asian Americans experience health disparities in cancer, chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease, mental health, and among the elderly. Asian Americans had the highest mortality rate for liver and stomach cancer, the most preventable cancers, according to researchers.

The Asian Health Program's efforts to address those issues don't only include language.

The program has helped register approximately 24,000 individuals for Medicaid, according to Holy Name, and when the program’s doctors found that illnesses like diabetes and breast cancer were more prevalent among patients, they began screening and treatment programs for those diseases.

Ultimately, Choi’s goal is to see her program emulated in places where there is a need for culturally sensitive healthcare. “To me, I see the need, and I see the methodology working. We want to package this so we can spread our knowledge much wider,” Choi said. Several hospitals across the U.S. have contacted Holy Name to look at implementing similar programs. The University of Chicago’s James Bae created one with Choi's input that works with ethnic communities in the city. Bae used existing resources the university hospital had for its international patients and went into community spaces to inform them of the services available.

navigate the system,” he said. Ming-der Chang, who works at New YorkPresbyterian Queens said that when she came to that hospital four years ago, they had some of the same services as Holy Name, but the community didn’t know they existed. “I went to get guidance and experience from Mrs. Choi about how she had been so successful in the program, and how can we use her experience to help us set up the program here,” Chang said. Dr. Yanghee Woo, the current president of the Korean American Graduate Medical Association and a surgeon scientist doctor at City of Hope, described Choi as a beacon in the field of culturally sensitive care. “She was able to come up with a plan that is not just service, but also financially stable,” she said.

But, Woo added, it’s important to note that the Asian Health Services program is not directly translatable to every state and hospital, because each area has their own needs.

Holy Name Medical Center president and CEO Michael Maron said he hopes people see their program is more than just a marketing campaign and that it’s ingrained in the culture of the hospital. “You can’t just hire a few Asians and put them in an office and say 'I have an Asian health program.' The entire organization, everybody has to embrace it, and support it, and understand what’s going on,” Maron said.

Since starting the initiative, Holy Name has also added Hispanic and Jewish-serving programs. Eventually, Choi and the Holy Name Medical Center team want to build a robust understanding of what culturally sensitive care looks like for its full staff.

The AHS Chinese Medical Program Chinese New Years Celebration, held at Holy Name Medical Center on Jan. 21, 2017.

To do so, they have developed a pilot training program that would teach every employee — from ER doctors to the parking attendants — how to provide culturally sensitive care. The training consists of educating the staff about knowledge like red being a symbol of death in Korean culture, so one should not use red pen on their medical charts, or that a large number of immigrants from Asian countries may not be accustomed to paying for health care services that had been free in their home

By Steven Ross Johnson Kyung Hee Choi recalls feeling close enough that she could have reached out to touch the airplane that zipped past her 25th floor Wall Street office window on Sept. 11, 2001, before it struck the second tower of the World Trade Center.

"It was truly a life-changing moment," said Choi, who soon left her job and turned her sights to community service.

That career move has dramatically affected the provision of healthcare to Bergen County, N.J.'s, Asian-Americans, who face numerous obstacles to good healthcare.

"There are big language barriers and culture barriers," Choi said. "On top of that, understanding the U.S. healthcare system is very, very difficult—even English-speaking people sometimes have a hard time understanding how this healthcare system works."Prior to 9/11, the first-generation American immigrant from South Korea had been living out her dream of working in New York as a managing director for global firm J.P. Morgan Chase. Along the way, Choi said she never forgot the help and support she received from colleagues and others when she first moved to the U.S. After 9/11, she felt it was time to give something back. The next year, Choi retired from J.P. Morgan and joined the boards of several not-for-profit organizations in and around her community of Bergen County, including the board of the now-former Pascack Valley Hospital, in Westwood.

"Sitting on the board I noticed that the hospital really wasn't reaching out to the Asian community," she said, even though the community was growing swiftly. The state has the fourth-largest Asian-American population in the U.S., ballooning 1,400% to more than 725,000 people in 2010, up from 48,000 in 1970, according to federal census data analyzed by the state.

New Jersey is not the only part of the U.S. where the Asian population is growing. Throughout the U.S., AsianAmericans are the fastest-growing racial or ethnic group, increasing 72% from 2010 to 2015, according to the Pew Research Center.

In Choi's home of Bergen County, Asian-Americans account for more than 14% of the population, and the county is home to more than 60% of the state's Korean population. In one of the county's boroughs, Palisades Park, KoreanAmericans make up more than 51%.

With such a large proportion of Korean-Americans within the hospital's patient population, Choi suggested Pascack Valley target that community. Choi proposed the hospital start there since she herself was very familiar with the Korean immigrant community's health needs. Cultural and language barriers made it difficult for many to navigate the local healthcare system to get routine checkups, causing many to visit emergency departments after their conditions grew severe.

"Understanding the U.S. healthcare system is very, very difficult--even English-speaking people sometimes have a hard time understanding how this healthcare system works." Choi began by recruiting Korean-American doctors and nurses who could provide care that was more linguistically and culturally in tune with the intended population. That marked the beginnings of the Korean Medical Program, which Choi said she wanted to benefit both the community and the hospital by establishing a go-to healthcare site for Korean immigrants.

After ongoing debt problems and years of declining admissions led Pascack Valley to close in 2007, Choi moved the program to nearby Holy Name Medical Center in Teaneck, which had been running a less ambitious form of a clinic targeting Korean-American patients since 2002. (Pascack Valley reopened in 2013 as Hackensack University Medical Center at Pascack Valley.) "She was very successful, and her program was very different from ours," said Michael Maron, president and CEO of Holy Name Medical Center. "Ours in its origins was just a clinic to treat mostly the uninsured and needy in that population, but it was not real total population health management." Following the move to Holy Name in 2008, the program quickly grew from 35 physicians to 90, serving a population of more than 45,000 patients.

Since that time the program has been renamed Asian Health Services and expanded to include specialized medical programs for Chinese, Filipino, Indian and Japanese ethnic populations. Choi is vice president of the program. Now in its 10th year, the program has about 280 Asian-American physicians who work in concert with more than 250 church and community groups and more than 900 private donors to provide a medical home for more than 250,000 Asians in the New Jersey and New York area.Adapting menus and reading materials Patients who come to Holy Name under one of the programs can access services with the help of a bilingual care coordinator. During hospital stays, patients are served food from their native culture and have access to television and newspapers in their native language.

Part of those efforts require educating clinicians and other healthcare staffers on some of the subtleties of Asian culture.

Some of those cultural norms can include offering warm water instead of cold, providing a bowl of rice and soup as opposed to a sandwich, and referring to a patient by their surname instead of by their first.

A serious faux pas in the healthcare setting is writing a patient's name in red ink, the color traditionally used in some parts of Asia to signify a person is dead. "Can you imagine if you came to the hospital and the nurse picks out red ink and begins to write your name?" Choi asked. "That is not a good thought."

Providing culturally tailored amenities is just one part of what the program offers patients. Maron said the program has been effective because of the systemwide commitment toward culturally sensitive care from Asian and nonAsian clinicians alike. "What we learned is that there is an incredible amount of science and an incredible amount of enhanced, high-quality, cost-efficient care that can be delivered when you tune in to ethnic segmentation of the population," Maron said. (See sidebar, p. 23.)

Dr. Hee Yang said when he began participating in Asian Health Services 10 years ago, the goal was to provide culturally sensitive care to a population whose health needs were often ignored. But he discovered that providing care with such an approach let clinicians practice some of the truest forms of population health management. "We basically started a program to see if we could help people," said Yang, chief medical officer for the Asian Health Services program at Holy Name. "But an interesting thing happens along the way when you do something like this, when you start centralizing a minority group in a region, you begin to see subtle differences in medical issues."

Choi said Holy Name has reaped the benefits since becoming known as the area's go-to health site for Asian-Americans.

The hospital as well as its three satellite sites attract 50,000 patient visits a year through Asian Health Services. Over the past several years, the program has helped more than 7,000 patients obtain coverage through the Affordable Care Act's health insurance marketplace.

S ummary: In a s tudy of 11,177 As ian Americans s creened for hepatitis B , Holy Name Medic al C enter found a 3.2% prevalence rate; linkage to care is an ong oing challenge.

Kyung Hee Choi / Vice president, Asian Health Services Holy Name Medical Center

Maron agreed the program has been financially positive for the hospital, but acknowledged problems existed before the ACA due to bad debt the system had to carry to treat firstgeneration immigrants, many of whom were uninsured. The situation improved somewhat when New Jersey opted to expand Medicaid to all low-income adults. Over the years, Maron said, the program has helped the hospital recruit ever-more talented Asian clinicians, making it an attractive healthcare destination for all members of the community.

"For many of them, their reputations have grown so their practices now are probably half Korean and half the rest of the population," Maron said. "That for us is just another great growth story—when you put the people first, the dollars end up following."

Maron said the Asian Health Services program has already influenced how the hospital delivers care to other ethnic groups. Recently, the hospital formed a Patient-Centered Cultural IQ Committee to develop a pilot program that packages the methodology of Asian Health Services in order to share the model with other providers. In recent years, representatives of three area hospitals have visited Holy Name as they study adopting a similar model to serve their Asian-American populations, and Illinois and California providers have called seeking information. Choi said she never aspired for Asian Health Services to go beyond its initial goal of helping her community, but feels its success has shown a potential path other healthcare providers can take to better manage the health of their minority patient populations. "We want to become the national leader in culturally sensitive care," she said.

“…Holy Name has reaped the benefits since becoming known as the area's go-to health site for Asian-Americans.

The hospital as well as its three satellite sites attract 50,000 patient visits a year through Asian Health Services.”

C hronic hepatitis B is a serious viral infection that can lead to liver cirrhos is, liver cancer and other complications , affecting more than 240 million people worldwide . In the U.S ., as many as 2 million people live with chronic hepatitis B virus (HB V) infection. Y et many of those infected are unaware they have the dis eas e – over 60 percent – while a good number of individuals who are HBV positive aren’t linked to medical care. In the As ian-American population, the prevalence of chronic HB V infection is much higher than it is for C aucas ians , 5 – 10 percent compared to 0.2 percent, res pectively.

Holy Name Medic al C enter in T eaneck, N.J ., has prioritized making HB V education, s creenings and acces s to care eas ily available to our As ian-American population. Holy Name’s culturally and linguis tically s ens itive care has als o helped As ian Americans feel comfortable s eeking medical attention at the hos pital.

We started by going out into the community and providing, through the nonprofit community-bas ed C enter for Viral Hepatitis and the As ian L iver C enter at Holy Name, screenings at churches, health fairs and community centers. B etween D ecember 2009 and D ecember 2015, a total of 11,177 As ian Americans were tested. O f thos e s creened, 340 were infected with HB V and 3,988 were s us ceptible, or not protected against infection with the virus . T hos e infected were referred to s pecialis ts within the community and thos e who were not protected were encouraged to get vaccinated.

T he good news is that the HB V prevalence rate in our As ian-American population, 3.2 percent, was lower than expected. It seems to be mirroring the rate in S outh K orea, which is als o declining . B oth decreas ing numbers are attributed to immunization programs and other preventive s trategies . B ut the cas es still reflect a much higher prevalence in this population, requiring ongoing attention and care.

Unfortunately, of the individuals who are HB V pos itive, only about 10 percent have been s ucces sfully linked to a phys ician for follow-up. T he biggest challenge in linking patients to care for HB V infection is finding qualified providers who offer linguistically and culturally s ens itive care.

The Asian-American Women of Bergen County Are Ageless Wonders

Japanese Medical Program Launch

â&#x20AC;&#x153;...At Holy Name Medical Center, traditional practices are accommodated.

Korean women who have just delivered babies get seaweed soup and avoid rooms with the number four, the word for which sounds like death in Chinese and several other East Asian languages. If hospitalized, Asian patients drink the warm water they prefer when sick, not ice water, and eat Asian food instead of french fries.â&#x20AC;&#x153; NEW JERSEY MONTHLY

The Asian-American Women of Bergen County are Ageless Wonders In Bergen County, a cluster of Asian-American women defy the ravages of time.

What can they teach the rest of us?

By Kevin Coyne | | November 6, 2017 | Appears in the November 2017 issue As the sun rises over Bergen County, the women who are more likely to live longer than any other Americans are rising, too. They are rising in their apartments in senior housing complexes in Palisades Park and Fort Lee and in their bedrooms in the houses they share with their children and grandchildren in Closter and Leonia. They are rising early because they have always risen early, and they hold to such habits with a rigor born of belief and experience.

They are Asian-American, Korean mostly, but also Indian, Chinese, Filipino and Japanese, part of a wave of immigrants who have changed the faceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and the age demographicsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest county over the last several decades. Many came as adults, following their children who had earlier come for school or work, and they brought with them the ways of their home countries.

They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t smoke and they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drink alcohol. They eat more vegetables than meat. They swear by the restorative power of kimchi, turmeric, or ginseng mixed with some honey and hot water. They take the stairs when they can, and they walk their grandchildren to school. They do yoga and tai

chi. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re never very far from their children. And they can expect to live into their 90s, the longest life expectancy of any ethnic group in any county in the United States. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remarkable, the numbers that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re finding for them,â&#x20AC;? says Sarah BurdSharps, codirector of Measure of America, a project of the Social Science Research Council, which will be releasing its latest population report early next year. Its previous study in 2014 found that Asian-Americans in New Jersey have an average life expectancy of 89.4 years. (The state average in 2014 was 80.3 years; the national average, 78.9.) That study didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t break down the data by gender or county, but an earlier one that didâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;by researchers at the Harvard School of Public Healthâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;found that Asian-American women in Bergen County had an average life expectancy of 91.1 years, the highest of any group anywhere in the nation.

By 5:30 most mornings, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working nowGui onOka

Choi is standing outside the building where she lives, Highland View Apartments in Palisades Park, waiting for the bus that will take her to the fitness center in Fort Lee. She likes to be there when the pool opens at six. She swims for 30 minutes and takes the bus back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had some arthritis problems in my knees and I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do exercises, so the doctor recommended swimming to avoid the impact on my knees,â&#x20AC;? she says through a translator as she waits for lunch in the senior activity center run by Bergen Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Division of Senior Services on the first floor of her apartment building.

That advice came 20 years ago. Choi is 88 now, and when she arrived at the center after her morning swim, she joined several dozen other women for the weekly osteoporosis exercise class. As the women sat in chairs moving their bodies in time with the instructor, the smaller number of men who frequent the center sat at a table near the door reading Korean newspapers and playing Go. Choi and her husband came to the United States in 1984, following two of their five children who were already here. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Only the youngest is in Korea now,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody else is here.â&#x20AC;?

She lives aloneâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;her husband died in 2004â&#x20AC;&#x201D;but her son lives nearby, also in Palisades Park, where the population is more than half Korean, the highest concentration of Koreans of any municipality in the nation, according to the American Community Survey by the U.S. Census Bureau. The signs on many of the storefronts along Broad Avenue are written in Hangul, the Korean alphabet. Kimchi, the spicy fermented cabbage that is a Korean staple, is as easy to find as pizza. Choi doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buy her kimchi, though. She worked as a chef for her first decade in America, and she still makes her own.

Ethnic clusters like thisâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;stores, restaurants, churches and extended families all in close proximityâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; allow immigrants to ease into their new country without leaving behind the diets and customs of their old ones. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Here in Bergen County, if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speak any English at all, you can still function well,â&#x20AC;? says Kyung-Hee Choi, vice president of the Asian Health Services program at Holy Name Medical Center in Teaneck. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All your life-support infrastructure is here.â&#x20AC;?

By maintaining those healthy diets and customs here, Asian-Americans have established a cluster of longevity that surprises researchers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where Bergen County was at all until we found the results and had to look,â&#x20AC;? says Dr. Christopher Murray, who led the Harvard study and is now director of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The question for which thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no great answer is: Is there any genetic component? I think the consensus right now is probably not, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s early days in gene sequencing, and I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be surprised if 5 or 10 years from now the answer is different.â&#x20AC;?

The explanation backed by the most evidence relates to how Asian-American women treat their bodies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The most powerful predictors of life span by county, with all races combined, were the five main risk factors we could study at the local level: tobacco, obesity, physical activity, blood sugar and blood pressureâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and Asian-Americans have a very good risk profile,â&#x20AC;? Murray says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Asian-American women avoid smoking and tend to have a very low obesity rate. They have low blood sugar generally and higher rates of physical activity than other groups.â&#x20AC;?

Sitting next to Gui Ok Choi at the senior center is Anna Jung, 81, who also wakes before dawn to maintain her well-being. A widow for 20 years, she lives with her son and grandchildren in Palisades Park, and at five each morning, she steps out onto the balcony to exercise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dark,â&#x20AC;? she says through a translator. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The air is good.â&#x20AC;?

After her exercise routine and breakfast, Jung walks 10 blocks to the senior center, where she often joins the afternoon line dancing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My philosophy is: Breakfast, eat like a king. Lunch, eat enough for you to work. Dinner, eat enough so you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t starve,â&#x20AC;? she says.

As the men drift away after lunch, two dozen women finish a salsa dance and then, in unison, deftly follow the leaderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s direction (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Three cha-chas this way, and the fourth one you turnâ&#x20AC;?) when the music switches to old-time rock â&#x20AC;&#x2122;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roll: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kansas City.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very disciplined, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very active, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be hanging around gaining weight, they want to be productive,â&#x20AC;? says Paul Kim, the centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The elderly are well revered.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got all the answers.â&#x20AC;?

In Glen Rock, Hyukyung Kang, 85, starts her mornings with a long walk accompanying her 10-yearold granddaughter to school, as she has ever since kindergarten. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thirty minutes to school, thirty minutes coming back,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good exercise.â&#x20AC;?

Kang came to the United States from Korea in 1974 with her four children to join her husband, who had arrived two years earlier and owned a wig shop on 34th Street in Manhattan, near Macyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. She worked at a Japanese bank in Manhattan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As translator, not money counter,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can speak Japanese.â&#x20AC;?

She has been a widow for 30 years and has long lived in the kind of multigenerational household that is common among Asian-Americansâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;with her son and daughter-in-law and their three children; the oldest two have grown and gone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Four of us in the house now,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are very happy.â&#x20AC;?

The house itself, where her bedroom is on the third floor, is part of her fitness regimen, too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m living every day going up and going down,â&#x20AC;? says Kang, whose grandmother lived to 92. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little exercise.â&#x20AC;?

Family brings many older Koreans to New Jersey, and family is what helps give them a sense of purpose, and an incentive to stay healthy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is also helping the longevity,â&#x20AC;? says Kyung-Hee Choi, who started the Korean Medical Program at Pascack Valley Hospital 15 years ago and then moved it to Holy Name, where the program now includes other Asian groups. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing an important role. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re being useful to their family members. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all helping each other.â&#x20AC;?

Yonghee Kim, 81, lives alone in a senior apartment in Fort Lee, but spends almost half her time at her daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house in Closter, where she rides an exercise bicycle, stays over on weekends (so they can attend church together) and often cooks dinner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I go to help them,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I make food I feel very happy. I like to cook and share it with everybody.â&#x20AC;?

Her husband, a dentist, died of stomach cancer in Korea when he was 52, and she was 50. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had to raise three kids, so I had to be more positive and strong,â&#x20AC;? she says. When her youngest

daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job brought him to America in 1997, she joined them,

living with them initially, caring for her two granddaughters. She has her own theory about the longevity cluster. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the New Jersey weather,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The air is very nice here.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes, very clear here,â&#x20AC;? agrees Jung Ae Kim, 81, who lives a few blocks away in another senior apartment in Fort Lee. She and her late husband came to America in 1977 with their three children after he retired from the Korean Navy. They owned a hardware store in the Bronx for 17 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was the cashier, my husband was on the floor.â&#x20AC;? Every morning, Kim joins 10 other residents in the lobby of her building where they exercise together to a video. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One man is Taiwanese, the rest Korean,â&#x20AC;? she says. At 1 pm each weekday, a bus arrives to take her to Peaceful Adult Day Care Center in Little Ferry, where she has lunch (â&#x20AC;&#x153;every day we eat kimchiâ&#x20AC;? she says) and dinner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lunch and talkingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;talk, talk, talk,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The mind is importantâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;everything happy and peaceful and lovely.â&#x20AC;?

Adult day care centers have proliferated across the county in recent years, providing not just medical care but camaraderie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Socializing is very important to them,â&#x20AC;? says Suryakant Shukla, 78, chairman of the advisory council for the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department of Senior Services. He responded to questions about the longevity cluster by compiling a brief report to share with the council. The report identifies seven factors: food habits, lifestyle, genetics, education and health habits, economics, location and faith. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not astute in doing the Internet and social media, but they still like to communicate with each other.â&#x20AC;?

At Atmiya Adult Day Care in Elmwood Park, where the clients are mostly Indian, mornings start with Hindu prayers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Women follow their daily activities in more of a pattern than men,â&#x20AC;? says the owner, Jay Patel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Retired men donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even have patterns; they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t follow the system.â&#x20AC;? After prayers come 30 minutes of yoga adapted for aging bodiesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;no mats, just standing or sitting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel more energy, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m able to run and run, and I have a good nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sleep,â&#x20AC;? says Sushila Desai, 70, through a translator. She does yoga at Atmiya and then twice more again at home. Her mother lived to 93, her mother-in-law to 96; her goal is 100. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I learned from them.â&#x20AC;?

Desai, who arrived from India 15 years ago to help care for her grandchildren, lives in Fair Lawn with her daughter, who owns a convenience store. She spends Sundays at a Hindu temple in Clifton, and each night before bed, she puts dried black grapes in water to soak until morning, when she eats them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m always thinking positive thoughts, no negative thoughts while Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m eating,â&#x20AC;? she says. Her diet is vegetarianâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;no seafood, eggs or gluten. No onion or garlic, either. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatever you eat thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thinking in your mind. Our religion says donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t eat onion and garlic because they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give you good thoughts. They make you have negative thoughts. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re never angry with someone right away. People who are eating that type of food, like onion and garlic, they are angry.â&#x20AC;?

Huiming Wang watches her diet closely, too, and has her blood sugar checked daily at the Home Away From Home Adult Day Care Center in Nutley. Her father, who lives in Shanghai, is 96, but her mother, who had diabetes and heart disease, died at 72, the same age she is now. She also has diabetes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I manage it closely,â&#x20AC;? she says through a translator. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have very serious control of my food.â&#x20AC;?

Managing a chronic disease like diabetes is easier in a place like Bergen County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not getting the same diseases, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re skipping the diseases that kill people when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re younger, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re able to live longer witwh those diseases,â&#x20AC;? says Dr. Teri Katz, who sees Asian patients as part of her geriatrics practice in Fort Lee, the Center for Dynamic Aging. Bergen, she notes, is where the diets and lifestyles of the old countries intersect with the amenities of the new, especially the extensive health care system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of those are contributing factors that are probably allowing this pocket to live longer with the same diseases.â&#x20AC;?

Wang and her husband were engineers in China, and they joined their daughter and her family here after they retired. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every Saturday they all come to my home for lunch,â&#x20AC;? says Wang, who lives with her husband in a senior apartment in Passaic. They have two grandchildren; the older one, whom she proudly points out in a recent photo, is just off to her first year at Cornell University. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want my daughter and granddaughter to learn how to cook typical Chinese food.â&#x20AC;?

Wang has help managing her diabetes through the Chinese Medical Program at Holy Name Medical Center. Koreans are the predominant Asian group in Bergen County (44 percent of the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Asian population) and were the focus of the program Kyung-Hee Choi started after leaving her Wall Street career in the wake of 9/11. (The second plane was so close as it roared past her office at J.P. Morgan, she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;it felt like I could open the window and touch it.â&#x20AC;?) Over the last two years, Holy Name has opened four more programs for Chinese (13 percent of Bergenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Asian population), Indian (19 percent), Filipino (15 percent) and Japanese (5 percent) residents.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a first-generation immigrant myself, so I put myself in their shoes and understand what obstacles they face,â&#x20AC;? Choi says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to worry about not speaking the language, not being able to communicate, not being able to eat the Western food.â&#x20AC;?

At Holy Name Medical Center, traditional practices are accommodated. Korean women who have just delivered babies get seaweed soup and avoid rooms with the number four, the word for which sounds like death in Chinese and several other East Asian languages. If hospitalized, Asian patients drink the warm water they prefer when sick, not ice water, and eat Asian food instead of french fries.

Translators are abundant, health fairs and screenings are offered at churches and community groups, and 280 Asian doctors are affiliatedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x153;More than any other hospital in the country,â&#x20AC;? Choi says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That korean community, in their 70s, 80s, 90sâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;most of them were well into adulthood and middle age by the time they came here, so they were set in their ways culturally, dietary-wise and socially,â&#x20AC;? says Dr. Hee Yang, medical director of Asian Health Services at Holy Name. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They brought that same great lifestyle to the United States, and then you add to that the modern health care they had access to here, and I think that contributed significantly. I would like to think that elderly Korean patients having access to what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve created contributed to their longevity as well.â&#x20AC;?

But all that health care can only help them if you get them in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Going to the hospital is intimidating in and of itself and then you add linguistic and cultural barriers, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost prohibitive,â&#x20AC;? says Yang. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been through that experience myself. I know how intimidating it is.â&#x20AC;?

Yang knew no English when he moved from Korea to Chicago with his family at the age of 12. A year later, his grandmother arrived, and he was deputized as her escort when she had some health problems, riding the bus with her to clinics and translating for her with the nurses and doctors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I made a promise to myself that, if and when an opportunity came for me to do something about this, I would,â&#x20AC;? he says.

And his grandmother? â&#x20AC;&#x153;She lived into her 90s,â&#x20AC;? he says.
