*** Dr Linath Lim was an internal medicine specialist, and hospitalist in Fresno, CA. In early 2021, she passed away due to complications from COVID-19 infection, while taking care of numerous COVID-19 patients in the hospital. She was a killing field survivor who immigrated to US in 1982. She worked her way through college, and then medical school on her own. She worked with medically under-served communities, was one of the first CHPAA volunteers, and joined CHPAA missions to Cambodia twice. She was loved and endeared by her colleagues for her selfless contribution to providing the best care for her patients, and helping her fellow healthcare workers who were in need. This scholarship is funded by Enterprise Bank and Trust.

Cambodian Health Professionals Association of America (CHPAA) is resuming its in-person Annual Fundraising Gala to celebrate the 25th anniversary of its founding and decades of giving.
Since its inception in 1997, CHPAA has played a significant role in our underserved community to promote health through education, advocacy, community health fairs, health forums and public service announcements. In this once-in-a-century public health crisis, CHPAA, a respected organization, represents an authoritative and trusted voice in educating our community about public health measures, vaccine, and misinformation about COVID.
CHPAA has been providing mentorship, training, and scholarships to aspiring pre-health students. In addition to our regular scholarships, a special βLinath Lim, MD Memorial Scholarshipβ has been established in her memory. Dr. Linath Lim, who succumbed to COVID-19 in the line of duty, was a steadfast supporter and steward of CHPAA. She was one of the first few members and volunteers for CHPAA missions.
We are grateful if you can sponsor and join us as 100% of the proceeds of this fundraising will go toward providing direct FREE medical care to the underserved people of Cambodia.
Seats are limited. Please reserve your tickets by October 28, 2022.
Please consider placing advertisements for your business in our Gala Program booklet. The booklet will be printed and distributed throughout the community.

**Announcement of the passing of Mrs. Jasenka Stojic from our President, Dr. Song Tan: *
Announcement of the passing of Mrs. Jasenka Stojic:We have learned with sadness of the passing of one of CHPAA volunteers, Mrs. Jasenka Stojic.
Jasenka is one of our most dedicated mission volunteers, who joined our missions with her daughter dentist, Liliana Stojic, DDS to selflessly serve the underprivileged people of Cambodia in three missions. She had special affinity with the young children and older people. Even though she does not speak Khmer and very little English, she speaks the universal language of βLoveβ, a βLove Without Bordersβ. Called affectionately βMamaβ, she was a role model for her dedication and her huge heart. For that reason, she was voted as the sole recipient of the βCHPAA 2016 Outstanding Volunteer Awardβ at our 7th Annual Fundraising Gala on November 4, 2016.
Jasenka was born and lived in Croatia all her life. She was a medical student when she first met her dentist husband. They ended up having two beautiful daughters, one of whom is Dr. Stojic. Being a devoted mother, she believes family came first, therefore she ended up dropping from her studies to raise her daughters. Jasenkaβs new adventure in the last few years with CHPAA has become the highlight of her life. She never missed a chance to tell her story about her CHPAA missions to anyone who would listen. Even during the last few days of life in the hospital, to quote Liliana, βher attending physician would bring Medical Students to βMamaβ so that she could tell them about Cambodia and to inspire them with her volunteer work with CHPAAβ.
She returned to her beloved Croatia during the pandemic in July 2020 after spending time visiting her daughter in California. Unfortunately, she contracted Covid-19 during her last hospital stay and she passed away just a few days later, on May 5, 2021.
Once again, CHPAA family is grieving for the loss of one of our most outstanding volunteers to COVID-19. We have lost a global citizen, a humanitarian and a CHPAA family member! On behalf of our CHPAA family, I would like to extend to Liliana and her family our most sincere condolences. May Jasenka Rest in Eternal Peace!
