COVID-19 VACCINATION VIRTUAL CONFERENCE
COVID-19 vaccines appear to have been developed and distributed at a rate faster than information about them could be disseminated. To bridge this gap, APHF is excited to announce that Dr. Taylor Nguyen, MD, will be hosting a virtual conference discussing the new COVID-19 vaccines. Dr. Nguyen will focus on topics such as the phases of allocation and the physiological mechanisms.

BASIC SPANISH WORKSHOP
Due to the increasing turnout of Spanish-speaking patients at our outreaches, the Basic Spanish Workshop will serve as a useful resource for volunteers to learn how to introduce themselves, objects, locations, and people at outreaches to patients. This interactive workshop will be conducted in English, and prior knowledge in Spanish is not required. The Program Intern team also encourages the participation of intermediate Spanish learners and interpreters as Discussion Facilitators during the workshop.

COVID-19 UPDATE
As COVID-19 cases continue to emerge across the United States, the Asian Pacific Health Foundation is committed to prioritizing volunteer and patient safety. To minimize physical contact and reduce possible opportunities for infection, we will be suspending all outreaches until further notice.
​
We understand that our outreaches provide many patients with basic medical screenings and follow-up medical care that they otherwise might not receive elsewhere. However, with the cancellation of these outreaches, we hope to minimize physical contact and subsequently reducing possible infective events.
​
We will continue to assess the current coronavirus climate and will send out a registration email for outreaches should they be confirmed.
​
As a reminder, if you are exhibiting any cold/flu-like symptoms such as fever, body aches, cough, sore throat, and runny nose, please stay home and refrain from interacting with those around you. Additionally, it is especially important to practice good hand hygiene prior to eating or touching your face.
