Honoring Asian Pacific American Heritage Month

We celebrate and honour the various cultures, histories, and contributions of Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders (AAPI), and their descendants during Asian Pacific American Heritage Month.

On the other hand, the AAPI community, which experiences severe health disparities and access issues, needs to be made acutely aware of the significance of addressing health equity, diversity, and inclusion during this month-long celebration. As a community, we must recognise and resolve the health disparities that exist and make investments in a future in which every person has an equal chance to prosper and realise their full potential.

In our capacity as members of the UC Davis Health Asian Pacific American Alliance Systemwide (APASA) Employee Resource Group (ERG), we are thrilled to share this wonderful month with you all.

This month, there are plenty of opportunities to take part in both on- and off-site events that will increase awareness, advance mutual understanding, and strengthen community ties.
