2022 APAICS Health Summit
APAICS Health Summit will be held on February 16th, 2022. This summit brings together nonprofit and corporate leaders, subject matter experts and elected officials for a bipartisan policy discussion about the current state of healthcare. One of the biggest threats to the Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AA & NH/PI) community is healthcare. During the COVID-19 pandemic AA & NH/PI’s have faced racism and discrimination, even though the community is on the frontlines battling the pandemic across the United States. This summit will highlight parts of healthcare where AA & NH/PIs are underrepresented and how as a nation there can be more inclusion. Experts from across America will join in this conversation and help to uncover the biggest challenges AANHPIs face, not only in the current state of healthcare but in the next phases of this global pandemic.
