Community Health Promotion

Health Fairs

Health Fairs have provided the local Asian population and other ethnic communities with much needed education on health issues and free health screening. The Ohio Commission on Minority Health and the Ohio Department of Health have traditionally funded health promotion activities focusing on cardiovascular, cancer, hepatitis and osteoporosis prevention.

Asian American Youth Against Tobacco (AAYAT)

Funded by the Ohio Tobacco Use Prevention and Control Foundation, AAYAT is a coalition of Asian American youth dedicated to increase awareness of and reduce the harmful effects of tobacco use through health education, disease prevention and policy advocacy throughout Ohio.
