Special Spotlight: Asian American/Pacific Islander Heritage Month
This month, CRCHD pays tribute to the generations of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders who have enriched American history and are instrumental in its future.
CRCHD also recognizes CNPC grantees, Drs. Sora Park Tanjasiri, and Grace Ma, for their contributions and achievements in research, prevention and training initiatives that address cancer health disparities among Asian Americans/Pacific Islanders (AAPIs).
Cancer is the leading cause of death in the Asian American community. Among the cancers that specifically effect women, cervical cancer has a profound impact. Please view the following video, designed to raise awareness of the disparity created by cervical cancer in this population.
