Asian Pacific Islander Health Report

California Assemblymember Mike Eng is committed to advancing health issues for Asian and Pacific Islanders.



He helped commission a report which disaggregates mental health problems for many diverse Asian and Pacific Islander communities. You can download the report here.

Last night he also hosted a townhall presenting the issues facing these communities. I recorded the event and will be posting some videos soon. Legislative Aide Annie Lam was extremely vital to the success of the event and said "This is only the beginning of the work we hope to do in these communities."
