Community-based Programs & Research
AAPCHO develops programs that are tailored to the cultural and language needs of the population served by our community-based member health organizations.
AAPCHO’s programs and services are tailored to support community health centers and other community-based organizations serving over 1.2 million Asian Americans (AAs), Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (NH/PIs). These medically underserved communities are primarily low-income, uninsured, and would otherwise not get the care that they need. AAPCHO aims to fill the gap by offering health education and promotion programs, technical assistance, training, research and data, and resources to support organizations serving these communities and to improve the health status and access of AAs and NH/PIs everywhere.

Community-Based Initiatives
Pacific Islander Diabetes Prevention Program
The Pacific Islander Diabetes Prevention Program is a national program that builds the infrastructure of local organizations to deliver lifestyle change programs, and aims to reverse prediabetes, decrease the incidence of type 2 diabetes, and reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke, among Pacific Islanders.
Pacific Islander Center of Primary Care Excellence
The Pacific Islander Center of Primary Care Excellence (PI-CoPCE) is a self-governed, community-based initiative housed within AAPCHO, and was established to improve the health of Pacific Islanders in the United States and U.S. Pacific through primary care support, research, workforce development, and community training and advocacy.
Member-Only Services
AAPCHO Community IRB
In an effort to increase AAPCHO member health centers’ capacity to conduct ethical and culturally and linguistically appropriate research, AAPCHO developed an in-house Institutional Review Board (IRB), which helps ensure that AAPCHO or member-initiated research is relevant to member communities and is conducted with high standards of research integrity.
In-Depth Policy Analysis
AAPCHO advocates for and works closely with our member health centers to improve the health status and access of medically underserved AAs and NH/PIs. AAPCHO’s Policy and Advocacy team provides members with tailored updates in a monthly Policy Roundup newsletter, 1:1 policy consultations, and more.
