Wang Community Health Center Dr. Perry Pong, CAIPA Vice President Dr. Sun-Hoo Foo, and CAMS President Dr. Paul C. Lee, felt it was very important to disseminate this information to the Chinese American community in NYC. On 6/29/2017 CAMS Administration had the privilege to be invited to Charles B. Wang Community Health Center for a Round Table Discussion with City Health Commissioner Dr. Mary Bassett to discuss the data analyzed by Dr. Wenhui Li on mortality in Chinese American in NYC with cancer and not heart disease as the leading cause of death among Chinese New Yorkers.
