Lowell Community Health Center

Lowell Community Health Center has made available online downloadable versions of public service radio segments on a number of health topics, along with written handouts reflecting the content of these programs, in Khmer language. No English language versions of the materials are currently available, though information is provided identifying the English sources used to develop the Khmer content. Specific links include:

• Cambodian Health Topics in Audio format:  Since many elder Cambodians do not read nor write in their language or English, many health services announcements have been done in audio format.
• Cambodian Health Articles: Articles in Cambodian which have been prepared and read on the University of Massachusetts radio's Voice of Cambodian Children Program heard Sunday afternoons.
