Asian American\/Pacific Islander Nurses Association (AAPINA) was established in 1991. The mission of AAPINA has been carried by dedicated AAPI nurses since then. We have four goals. The first and most importantly we identify and support the health care needs of Asian Pacific Islanders (API) in the United States and globally. Second, we implement strategies to act on issues, registration and public policies affecting the health of APIs. Third, we collaborate with other interdisciplinary health and professional organizations. Forth, we identify and support professional and nursing concerns of API nurses in the United States and globally.<\/p>\n

The purpose of Asian American Recovery Services, Inc. is to decrease the incidence and impact of substance abuse in the Asian and Pacific Islander communities of the San Francisco Bay Area. To accomplish this goal, Asian American Recovery Services, Inc. develops and provides innovative outreach, treatment, prevention, and research services for its target populations. Because there are multiple causes and effects of substance abuse, Asian American Recovery Services, Inc. also engages in ancillary activities to meet its goal.<\/p>\n

The Cammy Lee Leukemia Foundation Inc. is a non profit health service organization. We are an official recruitment group of the National Marrow Donor Program. We are dedicated to increasing awareness of leukemia and other fatal blood diseases in the Asian community. Through our efforts we can help thousands of Asian patients who are still searching for a match. In 1993, CLLF became an official recruitment group of the National Marrow Donor Program and has registered thousands of potential volunteer donors to the NMDP registry since its inception. But the need is still great. Of the almost 4 million volunteer donors registered in the NMDP registry, only 7% are Asian\/Pacific Islander. The chances of finding a match is between one in 20,000 to one in a million. Register to be a bone marrow donor today and you may be able to give the greatest gift of all: LIFE.<\/p>\n

The Asian Pacific Fund is a community foundation established to improve the health and well-being of all Asian Americans in the Bay Area. Even though 23 percent of the Bay Area is Asian, we receive less than 1 percent of mainstream funding, while one in every six of our children grows up in poverty. By providing services and awarding grants to more than 90 Asian organizations, the Fund also supports a broad range of local groups that provide vital services to Asian Americans. These organizations serve Cambodian, Chinese, Filipino, Indian, Japanese, Korean, Laotian, Thai, Vietnamese and other Asians in the region. The Fund is the only organization in the Bay Area focused exclusively on working closely with Asian donors, raising funds for community agencies and public education projects, and ensuring that contributions have a lasting impact.<\/p>\n

CACF promotes better policies, funding, and services for East Asian, South Asian, Southeast Asian, and Pacific Islander children, youth, and families.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
