APIAHF Cardiovascular Resources
APIAHF’s Chronic Diseases Program has various AANHPI cardiovascular resources to share with health advocates, researchers, organizations, and key policy decision makers.

The Kalusugan Coalition
The Kalusugan Coalition is a multidisciplinary collaboration dedicated to creating a unified voice to improve the health of the Filipino American community in the New York/New Jersey area through network and resource development, educational activities, research, community action, and advocacy. Project AsPIRE (Asian American Partnerships in Research and Empowerment) is a health initiative that brings together community members and academic researchers to improve cardiovascular health, particularly hypertension, for Filipino Americans living in New York and New Jersey. http://www.kalusugancoalition.org/
South Asian Health Project
The South Asian Health Project (SAH Project) provides opportunities to develop and implement new and innovative strategies, thinking "out-of-the box" from traditional approaches to public health and minority health dialogue. Through its work, SAH Project hopes to shift dialogue away from disease and treatment to greater emphasis on healthy lifestyles and prevention; similarly, shift focus away from community needs and deficits to community resources and assets. http://www.southasianhealth.org/yourhealth/HH/southasiansandheartdisease.aspx
