Our Story
About AAPCHO Info Sheet (PDF)
The Association of Asian Pacific Community Health Organizations (AAPCHO) was formed in 1987 by CHCs primarily serving medically underserved AAs, NHs, and PIs. The goal of these organizations was to create a national voice to advocate for the unique and diverse health needs of AA and NHPI communities and the community health providers that served those needs.
Since that time, we have advocated for policies and programs that improve the provision of health care services that are community-driven, financially affordable, linguistically accessible, and culturally appropriate.
Advocacy Work »
Among other things, we develop, test, and evaluate health education and promotion programs with national significance. We also offer technical assistance and training to promote the establishment and expansion of services for medically underserved AA, NH, and PI communities. And lastly, as a unified voice of our membership, we share our collective knowledge and experience with policymakers at the national, state, and local levels.
