COVID-19 Response
Featured Projects
AAPCHO is dedicated to ensuring community health-serving organizations, including Asian American (AA), Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (NH/PI)-serving community health centers have the culturally competent and linguistically appropriate resources to address COVID-19.
GOAL
The goals of AAPCHO’s COVID-19 response are to:
- Prioritize Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities disproportionately impacted by COVID-19
- Support policy advocacy for equitable coverage and access to care
- Identify and uplift promising practices in workforce transformation that increase trust and transparency among providers and communities of color
- Engage in partnerships to build and sustain community-led coalitions to share culturally and linguistically appropriate resources.
