On behalf of the NCAPA’s Communications and Health Committees, AAPCHO invites you to kick off Asian Pacific American Heritage Month (APAHM) with a panel, hosted by the National Council on Asian Pacific Americans (NCAPA) and A Safe Haven for Asians and Asian Americans.

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.
