In January 2020, the Sokimi family welcomed quadruplets – the first in American Samoa’s history – to their already large family for a total of eleven children! This family, like the island itself and the LBJ Tropical Medical Center, holds a special place in our hearts, especially since our former students were on clinical rotations at the time and were there to help deliver the babies. We have continued this relationship through the years and now with the Assumption University PA Program.

Sadly, in March of 2025, Sokimi Sokimi, father to eleven children and husband to their mom, Filomena Sokimi, passed away suddenly. The Assumption University PA Student Society has raised funds for the Sokimi family during this sad, difficult time, and our first group of students was able to meet the family in person this week. After enjoying dinner provided by our hosts, we spent the rest of the evening meeting (and playing volleyball with) more family and neighbors!
