Congratulations Peter Ng

2/8/2023

 

Peter serves as the Executive Director of Chinatown Service Center of Los Angeles for nearly 40 years. It's mission is to provide outstanding services and advocacy that promote better quality of life and equal opportunity for immigrants and other communities.
  • The actual roots of the CSC go back to 1971, when the Chinese Methodist Church hired a bilingual worker who worked at a small office in the church and counseled many newly arrived Chinese. Over the next four years, these early efforts attracted bilingual volunteers to assist its growing number of clients and its work gained broader community support.
  • In 1975, CSC moved from its Church affiliation and was incorporated as a non-profit organization dedicated to community service. Shortly thereafter, the CSC became a United Way agency and received an allocation to continue its work. Later that year, they were awarded our first government grant from the City of Los Angeles to establish an employment training program.
  • In March 1985, CSC began occupying part of the first floor of the newly built, low-income senior housing building called Cathay Manor. That location at 600 North Broadway in Chinatown, consists of approximately 5,600 square feet of office, training, and counseling facilities. In four years, CSC’s programs had outgrown the Cathay Manor space.
  • In 1990, the Board of Directors took the bold step of purchasing 8,000 sq. ft. of space located on the fourth floor of Alpine Towers, 767 North Hill Street, about two blocks from the Cathay Manor site. Currently the site houses CSC’s employment and counseling programs, citizenship classes and a computer lab, and CSC’s administrative offices.
  • In 1991, CSC completed improvements at Alpine Towers, establishing it as CSC’s “main office”. By April, remodeling of the Cathay Manor space was completed, doubling the size of our health clinic, and expanding our social service program space. That established the Cathay Manor site as their “branch office”.
  • In 1992, CSC opened a small part time office in Monterey Park, located on Atlantic Blvd. After three years at that location, CSC’s Monterey Park Office moved to a more accessible site at Chandler and Garvey. The office offers assistance for the elderly who are living at home.
  • In 2001, CSC opened a Youth Center at 727 North Broadway to expand its services to youths.
  • In 2004, CSC remodeled its clinic space to provide dental services.
  • In 2007, CSC’s clinic was designated a Federally Qualified Health Clinic (FQHC) and changed its name to CSC Community Health Center (CSC CHC) and began the transition to upgrading its records system to state-of-the-art electronic medical records shortly after that.
  • With American Reinvestment and Recovery Act funds and an additional federal capital grant, in 2011 CSC remodeled and expanded its main office clinic to add three treatment rooms, one dental operatory, a larger waiting room, and overall improvements to patient flow.
  • In 2015, CSC Community Health Center opened a second Dental Clinic in the City of Monterey Park at 850 South Atlantic Blvd., Suite 303.
  • In 2016, CSC Community Health Center opened a third Dental Clinic and a second Behavioral Health Division in the City of Alhambra at 320 South Garfield Avenue Suite 126 and Suite 202 to expand one stop Community Health Clinic services in San Gabriel Valley district.
  • In 2017, CSC Community Health Center another new Medical and Dental clinic service expanded to City of San Gabriel at 555-559 W. Las Tunas Drive, San Gabriel, 91776
  • In 2019, CSC added specialties services, Chiropractic, G.I. and Podiatry.
