For immediate release
October 1, 2012
Washington, D.C. – The Asian & Pacific Islander American Health Forum (APIAHF) has been awarded a major grant through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health (REACH) program. The grant will fund a newly developed project—Strategies to Reach and Implement the Vision of Health Equity (STRIVE)—designed to reduce chronic diseases, eliminate disparities and improve the health of Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders (AAs and NHPIs).
This map represents the states where AIM for Equity partners are located and highlights their progress toward implementing the Affordable Care Act’s significant components—the Medicaid Program Expansions and the Health Insurance Exchanges. While these two health policy changes represent an important way for Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (AAs & NHPIs) to access health insurance, they are decisions left to the states to implement.
