Asian Pacific Community in Action
Mission:
To improve the health and well being of the Asian American and Pacific Islander community in Maricopa County through empowerment, disease prevention and health promotion.
Program Highlights/Accomplishments:
The Asian Pacific Community in Action has been offering free hepatitis B screening and vaccination to the local AAPI community since June 2005. Since then, more than 2,700 individuals have received screening, and 2,400 have received at least one dose of HBV vaccine. The rate of HBV chronic disease in this screening population is 6.1%. APCA staff members assist all individuals with reactive chronic HBV infection results in accessing a source of regular medical care for their infection.
