AAPCHO advocates for programs, policies and legislation that improves the health status and access of medically underserved AA & NHOPIs. AAPCHO believes that health care services that are culturally and linguistically appropriate to AA & NHOPI populations, are crucial to improving AA & NHOPI health status and eliminating health disparities in this population. Partnerships with various organizations and coalitions help to ensure that legislation and national programs also strive toward that end.
