Asian American (AA) populations face unique challenges with respect to Type 2 Diabetes. While AA populations appear to have one of the lowest rates of diabetes compared to other racial/ethnic groups, disaggregated, specific subgroups have significantly higher rates of diabetes. What is behind this disparity and what can health centers and other organizations do to support AA patients with pre-diabetes and diabetes? Join us for a Learning Collaborative (LC) to gain in-depth knowledge about empowering AA patients at health centers through strategies that effectively address diabetes disparities in the AA community. Participants will have an opportunity to engage in peer learning to share challenges and promising practices. Guest speakers are from Joslin Diabetes Center’s Asian American Diabetes Initiative, Lowell Health Center, and University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine.

The Association of Asian Pacific Community Health Organizations (AAPCHO), Health Outreach Partners, MHP Salud, and National Health Care for the Homeless Council invite you to our HRSA-sponsored webinar to explore strategies to screen special and vulnerable populations for social determinants of health (SDOH) and build effective practices to begin addressing SDOH through outreach and enabling services (ES).

Special and vulnerable populations often face additional barriers to care and are often compounded by social determinants of health (SDOH). While screening for SDOH is a necessary first step in identifying these disparities, responding to the data in practice is the ultimate goal in addressing SDOH. The Association of Asian Pacific Community Health Organizations (AAPCHO), Health Outreach Partners (HOP), MHP Salud, and the National Health Care for the Homeless Council (NHCHC) will facilitate and lead this learning collaborative. This is an opportunity for health centers serving special and vulnerable populations to explore effective strategies to screen for SDOH and utilize data to build effective practices of addressing SDOH through the provision of outreach and enabling services.

Join AAPCHO and COVID-19 and Other Infectious Diseases Health Equity Response Network (CHERN) for a four-part learning series designed for clinicians, clinical supervisors, and other clinical staff. Learning Objective: Review clinical care guidance, updates, and resources for COVID-19.
