Access to In-Language Pharmacists

78% of Korean older adults are limited-English proficient. To reduce some of the challenges Korean older adults face in accessing health care systems, NAPCA is increasing Korean older adults’ access to Korean-speaking pharmacists. Through a partnership with Health Mart, NAPCA is working to ensure that residents in Los Angeles Koreatown have the opportunity to receive better clinical care, in a language that they understand.
