SOMOS Community Care and Congresswoman Grace Meng’s office released a report on the state of Chinese New Yorkers' health on Nov. 18.
Dr. Henry Chen, president of SOMOS, said the health status of Chinese New Yorkers is frequently misperceived, neglected and oversimplified. He said Asian-Americans are often believed to be “model minorities,” but most are average New Yorkers who face challenges when it comes to their health, Sing Tao Daily reports.
