Jaisohn Medical Center

Jaisohn Medical Center is a medical clinic in Philadelphia, PA. It is the clinical arm of the Philip Jaisohn Memorial Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit founded in 1975 by eight Philadelphia-area physicians to provide medical services to newly arriving immigrants. The clinic serves the Asian American community through medical, mental, and social services, and operates alongside related departments including Jaisohn Home Health Care, Jaisohn Home Care, Jaisohn Mental Health Services, Jaisohn Social Services, and Jaisohn Health Insurance, with offices in both Philadelphia and Lansdale. It holds a rating of 2.90 based on 16 reviews.

The clinic's medical staff includes internists Won Myung Kim and Jamie Paik, gynecologist Sunwha Hong, and medical director Young Nam Kim. Operations are led by medical center director Jenny Shin, with George J.S. Choe serving as President and CEO. The foundation's work is inspired by Dr. Philip Jaisohn, a Korean-born doctor, independence activist, and publisher of the first Korean newspaper, who became the first Korean naturalized US citizen and the first Korean to earn a medical degree in America. Beyond clinical care, the foundation runs the Jaisohn LIFE Academy, a free 13-week senior education program offered each spring and fall, and provides social services such as welfare assistance, Medicare and Medicaid guidance, immigration consultation, citizenship preparation, and translation services.

The clinic sits on Old York Road, adjacent to Hope Church School and near North Broad Street. Fern Rock Community Baptist School is about a tenth of a mile away, and Oak Lane Library and Fire Engine 63 are both roughly a fifth of a mile from the building.
