Fairness in how people are treated by others and by institutions, including who participates in decision making processes. Equity in power, opportunities, and resources to address obstacles hindering vulnerable communities and groups from living the healthiest lives. MISSION The Asian & Pacific Islander American Health Forum (APIAHF) influences policy, mobilizes communities, and strengthens programs and organizations to improve the health of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders.

Today is the 2-year Anniversary of signing the historic #InflationReductionAct into law! In just 2 years of the #InflationReductionAct, we’ve accomplished so much! Insulin is now capped at $35/month, recommended vaccines are free, and #Medicare FINALLY has the power to directly negotiate drug prices. We can’t wait to build on this progress next year and in years to come!
