The National Indian Health Board (NIHB) and Association of Asian Pacific Community Health Organization (AAPCHO)’s COVID-19 and Other Infectious Diseases Health Equity Response Network (CHERN) will be convening a webinar on COVID-19 guidance for the holiday season. Infectious disease specialist, Chia Wang, MD, MS will share evidence-based strategies for infection prevention while traveling and gathering.

Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will provide interim guidance and community resources during the call. This is an opportunity for American Indian (AI), Alaska Native (AN), Asian American (AA), and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander (NH/PI) communities to ask questions about the CDC’s COVID-19 travel guidance and seek clarity on precautions to take.

AAPCHO and MHP Salud will present four culturally relevant My Healthy Plate brochures that include the cultural traditions and dietary preferences of Filipino/a/x and Hmong MSAW communities as critical tools in preventing diabetes. In this webinar, speakers will share the importance of culturally relevant My Healthy Plate educational resources, a national survey and health center collaboration efforts, and promising practices.

Join the Association of Asian Pacific Community Health Organizations (AAPCHO), Farmworker Justice, National Center for Farmworker Health, and the National Network for Oral Health Access for the final session of the Diabetes Continuum of Care National Learning Series!

This session will provide an overview of the impacts of climate change on the health and well-being of historically marginalized communities. Speakers will discuss the intersection of environmental justice with diabetes care and management, strategies for health centers to address the issue of climate change, and tools to support patients and staff in promoting access to care.
