Community Events

This event aims to provide free a consultation to a Vietnamese population of lower SES. We primarily focus on follow up, ensuring that the patient is comfortable taking the next steps in their health. Based on their concerns, we offer infographics on their condition and ensure they fully understand. Nearby clinics that accept underinsured/not insured patients are provided as well as a list of Vietnamese speaking providers. Concerns about insurance or transportation are also answered as we provide an insurance hotline primarily for the AANHPI population, and guides on using public transport/ride share apps. We aim to increase health literacy as patients will receive a summary of their visit, resources offered, and follow up steps. This fits APAMSA’s mission and values as we are actively working to target and reduce the specific disparities faced in the AANHPI population. This also provides an opportunity for undergraduate and medical students to learn more about serving the AANHPI community in a culturally sensitive manner.
