Many Southeast Asian immigrants are unable to obtain adequate healthcare because of language barriers. They can't effectively communicate with healthcare providers, and are unable to navigate the complicated system. Few local hospitals have translators readily available. Programs like Temple University's Project Shine have developed classes that aim to specifically teach medical terms to the Southeast Asian community and other immigrants. Hitomi Yoshida and Lilian Wu from Project Shine discuss these issues. Also featured are Glenn Cooper, MD who sees a large number of Southeast Asian immigrants in his cardiology practice, and Rorng Sorn of the Cambodian Assoc. of Greater Philadelphia.
