So far ALAPIO physicians have seen 600 patients in the clinics at no cost to the patient. When patients from the free clinics need surgery, ALAPIO arranges to have them done at the Beverly Surgery Center every other month ,once again at no cost to the patient.
ALAPIO also conducts continuing medical education for physicians frequently. The program is approved by USC –Keck School of Medicine and physicians attending get CME credit for that. ALAPIO selects several cutting edge topics for the CME program. Recently, Dr Neel Anand of Cedar Sinai Hospital gave a scintillating talk on modern advances in minimally invasive surgeries for spine diseases and for backache among others. The other interesting topic discussed few months back was ‘ Future of Healthcare in America’ by Dr. Richard Boxer of UCLA and Senator Ed Hernandez from La Puente.
ALAPIO also participates in community health fairs, wherever they are arranged. ALAPIO doctors of different specialties will volunteer and provide free services to community members who do not have inexpensive access to healthcare.
ALAPIO believes that we need to give back in kind to the community which made us successful and what we are today. It is also trying to make a statement that Indian doctors are compassionate, skilled, resourceful and grateful
ALAPIO was established in 2013 and since then is actively involved in healthcare education and community services.
