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.
  • Emphasize community health centers as trusted frontline providers
