AANHPI Health Initiative

Rethink Your Asian Drink is a campaign created by the Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Health Initiative of Los Angeles. It is currently being coordinated by the American Heart Association and the Asian Pacific Islander Forward Movement. 

AANHPI Health Initiative – Our Mission

The Initiative’s mission is to bring AANHPI (Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders) health issues to the forefront so they can be actively addressed and result in the elimination of health disparities in these communities, with a specific focus on Los Angeles County SPAs 3 and 4.

AANHPI Health Initiative – Core Goals of Our Coalition

• Develop a strong relationship between AANHPI communities and the LA County Dept. of Public Health.

• Advocate for Los Angeles County Dept. of Public Health to recognize, prioritize and address the AANHPI health disparities in this county.

• Consolidate and coordinate the health work our organizations are already doing to eliminate duplication, while also building with our shared resources.

• Analyze and tailor currently-used evidence based strategies to work for the AANHPI communities we serve.
