About Us

The Association of Asian Pacific Community Health Organizations (AAPCHO) was formed to create a national voice to advocate for the health needs of Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander communities and the community health providers that serve their needs.

Vision

To be a national leader and critical voice for Asian American (AA), Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NH/PI) community health centers (CHCs) and consumers, ensuring that our communities have better access to affordable, high quality, and culturally and linguistically proficient health care.

Mission

AAPCHO is dedicated to promoting advocacy, collaboration, and leadership that improves the health status and access of AAs and NH/PIs within the United States, its territories, and freely associated states, primarily through our member CHCs.

The Association of Asian Pacific Community Health Organizations (AAPCHO) was formed in 1987 by community health centers to be a national voice for advocating for the health needs of AA and NH/PI communities and the community health providers that served their needs.

Since that time, we have supported policies and programs that improve the provision of health care services that are community-driven, financially affordable, linguistically accessible, and culturally appropriate.
