Dispelling Myths and Providing Hope

APINSCN was founded by Susan M. Shinagawa and the late Reverend Frank Chong to minimize the burden of cancer and improve the quality of life of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders by dispelling myths, reducing disparities and providing hope.

Education and Advocacy

APINCSN links Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders with critical resources, such as contact with other survivors, referrals to cancer support and survivorship services, and access to multi-lingual cancer materials, and also offer supportive and educational networking opportunities. It is also a national advocacy coalition, working to educate and advocate on the issue of cancer through speaking events, online networking, and promoting cancer survivors into national policymaking and research committees.
