AAPCHO applauds President Biden for taking executive action to protect patients' reproductive rights and privacy. While the President cannot unilaterally restore the constitutional right to abortion that was struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court, the steps his administration is taking will help safeguard individuals and providers in getting health care. AAPCHO continues to urge state and federal lawmakers to pass legislation to protect reproductive rights and access to health care for all.
As a continuation of the 2017 AAPCHO-led LTBI/TB needs assessment project, a 2022 needs assessment was conducted to understand the needs, challenges, and promising practices of A/AA and NH/PI-serving CHCs’ TB-related screening, testing, and treatment.
