Dear APHCV Patients,
You might be concerned about coronavirus, also known as COVID-19. We, at Asian Pacific Health Care Venture, Inc., have been following guidelines from local and national authorities to ensure the health and safety of our patients, physicians, staff, and the communities.
In order to reduce the speed of spread of COVID-19, APHCV has decided that, effective Wednesday March 18 2020, telephone visit appointments are convenient and safe ways to provide you with care from your home. We are contacting you to inform you about this change and explain how telephone visit appointment will work. You can continue to schedule by calling for appointment at (323) 644-3888.
To help protect you and your family from possible exposure to the coronavirus (COVID-19), we strongly advise you and your family of the following:
- If you have cough, cold or flu symptoms or have been exposed to any ill contacts, please call us at (323) 644-3888 for instructions or make telephone visit appointment with our Provider instead of an in-person office visit.
- If you have an urgent issue, please call (323) 644-3888 for telephone visit appointment instead of an in-person office visit. Our Providers or Triage Staff will provide guidance for your health concern and make recommendations for next steps. If an in-person visit is needed, our Provider will be able to assist you.
- If you have any question about appointment, please call (323) 644-3888. As always, if you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
Advice on staying healthy:
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
- Wash your hands with soap and water regularly. Alcohol hand sanitizers are also effective.
- Try not to touch your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
- Stay home when you are sick (and keep sick children home from school). But make sure to arrange to pick up medication and keep your medical appointment (Remember APHCV now provides telephone visit appointment for you with your provider)
- Cough or sneeze into a tissue or your elbow. If you use a tissue, throw it away after use and wash your hands afterwards.
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
For more up to date information on coronavirus, go to www.aphcv.org. We are asking screening questions to our patients and visitors at our facility entrance to protect you, your family, communities and our staff. We appreciate for your understanding and cooperation.

COVID-19 Testing
Due to the shortage of test kits nationally, APHCV does not provide COVID-19 Testing at this time. The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (LAC DPH) advises that mild cases of COVID-19 will not be tested. Severe COVID-19 suspect cases are referred to the Emergency Department where COVID-19 testing is performed. Due to the high risk of spread, LAC DPH also advises that home care is provided for mild colds, flu, and COVID-19 disease like symptoms. APHCV is offering telephone visits with our providers for your convenience and access to care. Please make an appointment by calling (323)644-3888 if you need care.

HRSA Recognizes APHCV as a Quality Leader
“The staff at APHCV is thrilled that their efforts provide quality care have been recognized nationally for a second year in a row. The Federal Government awarded APHCV as a Gold Level Health Center Quality Leader – only 9.2% of centers attain this highest category. It is wonderful that the daily work of staff, intense data gathering, and process improvement strategies by managers has resulted in measurable quality. APHCV was also recognized in four additional categories including advancing access to care and exceeding national Healthy People 2020 goals. The managers are proud of the staff and their commitment to being their best.” – John Hoh, MD, Medical Director
APHCV continues to increase its capacity to serve the community. HRSA also recognizes APHCV’s increase in the number of patients that come through our clinics. Through HRSA’s Quality Improvement Awards in 2019, APHCV has met or exceeded the national Healthy People 2020 goals for many health indicators and also continuing to utilize health information technology to increase access to quality care.
