AAHI works to empower Asian American communities with education, skills, and tools so they can more independently achieve their goals related to the health of their communities. AAHI recognizes that all communities have assets in the form of knowledge, skills, and resources. Through different programs and initiatives, AAHI supports communities through the process of identifying, developing, and accomplishing their goals. Some of the areas in which AAHI provides technical assistance to build capacity and sustainability include cultural and linguistic competency, program planning and implementation, resource allocation, health equity, and skills development, to name a few.
