Hosting a Health Fair or a Health Educational Booth? We've got you covered!

From Hepatitis B and cancer screening to mental health support, AANHPI communities face unique health challenges. Yet too often, vital information is only available in English. That’s why we’re offering culturally tailored health education pamphlets in Thai, Lao, Vietnamese, Tagalog, Cebuano, Burmese, Khmer, Korean, and Chinese. Whether you’re sharing resources with family, patients, or your community, language should never be a barrier to care.

Contact our Southeast Asian Director at seadirector@apamsa.org for any suggestions or to help with language expansion.
