This annual event will recognize Supervisor Don Knabe, Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and Christina Lee, M.D. from Talbert Medical Group.

Dr. Christina Lee is receiving the Community Service Award for her volunteer efforts in the Cambodian Community. Dr. Lee has provided pro bono education to community residents on topics such as cancer, hepatitis B and other health topics. She has served countless hours to ensure Cambodian Americans understand the importance of healthy lifestyles and self care.

“Supervisor Knabe and Dr. Lee are models of civic leadership. They not only speak about the importance of giving back but they give their time and attention to the Cambodian Community. We are grateful for their dedication and support over the years. We are pleased to announce both of them as award recipients, “says Sara Pol-Lim, Executive Director, United Cambodian Community.

United Cambodian Community (UCC) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) multi-cultural social services agency. UCC was originally established to assist in the resettlement of highly traumatized refugees and their families. Today, Long Beach has the largest Cambodian population outside of Cambodia itself and the UCC facility is located in the heart of the community, allowing convenient access to the services that are needed. Throughout UCC’s thirty-four years of service, their desire has been to assist in empowering the Cambodian people to be self-sufficient and productive members of society.
