About NAWHO

NAWHO is a national non-profit health organization with a mission to achieve health equity for Asian women and families. Our goals are:

• To raise awareness about the health needs of Asian Americans
  through research and education;
• To support Asian Americans as decision-makers through leadership
  development and advocacy; and
• To strengthen systems serving Asian Americans through partnerships
  and capacity building.

Founded in 1993, NAWHO has served as a powerful voice for the health of Asian American women and families. We have provided research and information about the health of Asian Americans to the public health field, as well as critically-needed health education to the Asian American community. Through innovative programs and groundbreaking partnerships, NAWHO has broken the myth of the Asian American “healthy model minority” – improving breast cancer screening outreach, increasing awareness of diabetes risk, and closing the gaps in immunization coverage.  Viewed as a results-oriented organization that is able to create innovative solutions and carry out new strategies for change, policy makers and opinion leaders have time and again recognized NAWHO as an effective leader in Asian American health.
