Lift AAPI

Lifta-AAPI operates as a health equity organization focused on Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander populations across the United States, implementing culturally-specific public health programs through local partnerships. The organization maintains a centralized database of AANHPI health research and educational resources accessible to community organizations and healthcare providers. Their public health interventions integrate cultural competency frameworks developed in consultation with AANHPI community leaders and health practitioners. The organization coordinates three core initiatives: health access advocacy, population-specific research, and community health partnerships. Lifta-AAPI collaborates with regional healthcare systems to develop targeted interventions addressing documented disparities in health outcomes among AANHPI populations. Their policy work includes producing briefings on healthcare access barriers and presenting recommendations to public health authorities. Lifta-AAPI's research program tracks health equity indicators within AANHPI communities and evaluates the effectiveness of cultural adaptation in public health outreach. The organization partners with community-based organizations to implement pilot programs testing new approaches to health education and preventive care. Their evidence-based methodology emphasizes collecting disaggregated data to identify specific needs within distinct AANHPI ethnic groups.
