Programs 

We strive to address the barriers that prevent access to information about various health issues affecting Vietnamese. These barriers include language, culture, and difficulty navigating the healthcare system. We implement several programs to appropriately raise awareness and encourage healthier behaviors within the community, including:

Seniors and Trauma Survivors Empowerment Program (STEP)

Seniors and Trauma Survivors Empowerment Program (STEP) is a community-based program that helps Vietnamese older adults and their families recover from postwar trauma and succeed in establishing new lives in the United States.

Health Awareness Program for Immigrants (HAPI)

The Health Awareness Program for Immigrants (HAPI) aims to educate the Vietnamese community about the risks of chronic diseases, the benefits of preventive health and how to access locally available services. Our current focus is on cervical and breast cancers, the two most common cancers among Vietnamese women. Early detection through Pap smears and mammograms can discover these two silent killers before they become life-threatening, yet an alarmingly low number of Vietnamese women are screened on a regular basis.

Community Awareness Campaign on Occupational Safetey (CACOS)

The goal of CACOS program is to reduce work-related exposures, injuries, illnesses, and fatalities. We aim to raise the awareness of Vietnamese employees and employers about occupational safety & health issues and the rights of workers to a safe workplace environment.
