The Korean Health Education Information and Research Center in Koreatown, Los Angeles, announced Tuesday it will open a new community clinic this year.
The center also unveiled a new logo and its rebranding as “KHEIR Clinic.”
KHEIR’s second, upcoming clinic will be located in a 5,400 square-foot space at 3255 Wilshire Boulevard.
KHEIR CEO Erin Pak said they are currently in the process of receiving a license after securing the medical team and completing construction. Fifteen examination rooms, a conference room, consultation rooms and a playroom for children will make up the clinic, she said.
Pak said they are working to expand the community’s healthcare opportunities.
The center opened in 1986 to help bring healthcare to low-income Korean immigrants and has since become a healthcare service for the local community.

Too bad kheir’s CEO erin pak will sacrifice the agency’s goal of helping the disenfranchised in the community in order to advance her own personal goals. She bulldozes her staff and the patients her organization claims to help, in order to satisfy her own ego and vanity. It’s sad because she hides her ruthless and heartless behavior behind the veil of a nonprofit organization, giving off her false persona of philanthropy and and empathy.
