ASIAN AMERICAN HEALTH DISPARITIES
One of our tasks is to understand health disparities among Asian Americans. Our research centers around reducing these disparities.
PUBLIC HEALTH EDUCATION
We offer broad public health education to our various communities in their own language through programs and on our web site.
HEPATITIS B NAVIGATION
We offer Hepatitis B related education, screening, vaccination and patient navigation for Asian Americans, because they have a higher incidence of this disease.
ANNUAL FLU SHOTS
We have teamed up with Walgreen to offer flu shots in the Fall when there are health fairs or any other appropriate community gatherings.
INFORMATION TRANSLATION
We collect pertinent information and translate it into different Asian languages and are able to distribute it among the Asian communities. This is especially important during health emergencies such as an epidemic.
RESOURCE ADVOCATES
When we receive calls from Asian Americans asking for help, we will try to find the help for them or direct them where to get the help. This is vital for Seniors who may have both cultural and language barriers.
