MISSION
To overcome social barriers, improve health and reduce health disparities for Asian Americans in Michigan.
VISION
To be the place for Asian Americans to learn about social determinants, and find help to support their health needs and concerns to improve their future health.
GUIDING PRINCIPLES

THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC IS A HEALTH CRISIS
We initiated the COVID-19 Project with passion for our caring community
This is a special tribute to our frontline caregivers in Oakland County hospitals for the COVID-19 Project. We donated 1,500 lunch boxes, and put this poster in each hospital on the day of their luncheon.

We offer Hepatitis B related education, screening, vaccination and patient navigation for Asian Americans, because they have a higher incidence of this disease.
