Join APAICS for an insightful panel discussion during National Minority Health Month as we delve into the pressing issue of heart health equity within Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities (AA & NH/PI). Our panel of experts will explore the factors contributing to the disproportionate burden of heart disease among AA & NH/PI populations, including genetic predispositions, cultural influences, and health care disparities. We will examine the current barriers faced by patients and providers in managing cardiovascular health and discuss practical solutions to promoting equity and improving health outcomes. Don't miss this opportunity to engage with leading voices in the field and explore actionable strategies for moving the needle on cardiovascular health equity in AA & NH/PI communities.
