About AAPCHO

The Association of Asian Pacific Community Health Organizations (AAPCHO) is a national association of community health organizations serving Asian American (AA), Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) populations across the United States and its territories. AAPCHO’s mission is to promote advocacy, collaboration and leadership that improve the health status and access of AAs and NHPIs within the United States, its territories and freely associated states, primarily through our member community health clinics. Our vision is to establish a standard of excellence for community-based health care that is equitable, affordable, accessible, and culturally and linguistically appropriate to the people we serve.

OUR VALUES

The following shared values underlie every aspect of AAPCHO and its member health centers’ functions and operations:

• Health care is a right not a privilege - All people must have access to affordable quality care, regardless of language, culture, immigration status and ability to pay. No one is turned away due to inability to pay and our services and policies are designed to eliminate barriers and provide access to all.
• Wellness - Health is much more than the absence of disease. It includes physical, mental and spiritual well-being for individuals, families and communities. We acknowledge and respect different definitions of wellness and health within our communities.
• Community Accountability and Empowerment - Communities are the experts on their own health and essential participants in the health of their communities, families and selves. Our services and programs are informed by and responsive to community voices.
• Diversity as Strength - AA and NHPI communities are rich in diversity of language, cultural heritage, spirituality, history, experience, health beliefs and practices. Many have undergone the hardships of war, colonization, poverty, or immigration to a foreign land. We honor and value the strengths of every culture and individual.
• Collaboration Among Communities of Color – Communities of color share a history of disparities and exclusion as well as a common interest in health and health care equity. Through collaboration, we learn from each other and grow stronger, while overcoming distrust and divisions that are fostered by competition for limited resources.
