My Nonprofit Reviews

I became involved with Asian Women for Health as a member of the planning committee for the annual "State of Asian Women's Health" conference. My involvement with AWFH has opened my eyes to many of the unique challenges experienced by the AAPI community, including the "model minority" myth and the lack of disaggregated data which masks variation among Asian American subgroups with respect to health care access, utilization, and health disparities. AWFH does such important work on both the local and state level to bring these issues to light and to inform improvements in health care delivery. I have been continually impressed by Chien-Chi's dedication, cultural expertise, community-driven leadership, and tireless advocacy in support of Asian women's health.
