Asian American Health Initiative
(HHS) |
The Asian American Health Initiative (AAHI) was established to help eliminate health disparities that exist between Asian Americans and their non-Asian counterparts. The mission of the AAHI is to identify the health care needs of the Asian American Community, to develop culturally competent health care services, and to implement health education programs that are accessible and available for all Asian Americans in Montgomery County. AAHI provides education and awareness about hepatitis B, cancer (breast, cervical, colorectal, and prostate), diabetes, osteoporosis, and tobacco control through seminars, health events, and community outreach. In addition, AAHI conducts on-site osteoporosis screenings and offers breast, cervical, colorectal, oral and prostate cancer screenings to eligible Montgomery County residents. To provide culturally and linguistically appropriate services and interventions to Asian Americans, AAHI also developed a Patient Navigators Program. |
