The organization merged with Korean Community Services (KCS Health Center) in 2018 to expand its reach and later returned to independent operations while maintaining a strategic partnership with KCS. The program has been recognized by CBS News, NBC, The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and leading Korean media.
