Penn Asian Senior Services (PASSi) operates in the hospitals and health care sector, delivering home-based services for seniors in the Philadelphia region. Founded in 2004 by Im Ja Choi, the organization was the first in Pennsylvania to address language barriers for Asian and immigrant seniors seeking in-home care. PASSi serves low-income individuals with limited English proficiency across Philadelphia, Montgomery, Delaware, Bucks, Chester, and Lehigh counties, offering services in 10 Asian language groups. Its program portfolio includes home care, vocational training, adult day care, and community educational workshops. The organization targets a regional market where language- and culture-related access barriers can impede care for older adults, providing culturally and linguistically appropriate support. A recent development noted in 2024 includes PASSi Women launching a Women’s History Month celebration alongside a primary care ribbon-cutting ceremony.
