Health & Healing

Our team consists of seven dedicated Community Health Workers who are serving our Pacific Islander community. These individuals possess a deep passion for improving the health and well-being of our community members. As CHW's, they bring firsthand cultural understanding and empathy, making them uniquely equipped to address the specific needs and challenges faced by our Pacific Islander community. Through their specialized training, they have acquired the necessary skills, knowledge, and resources to serve as pillars of support and advocate for the health needs of our community. 

We believe that health is a vital form of wealth. Many Pacific Islanders face increased risks of chronic health issues such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity. We are committed to raising awareness about nutrition and physical health in our community. Our dedicated Community Health Workers are working on providing peer support groups, essential tools for managing diabetes, maintaining stable sugar levels, promoting simple physical activities, healthy cooking classes, and fostering a supportive environment. We prioritize the well-being of our community by honoring our cultural heritage and providing valuable resources.

At the core of our program lies a deep devotion to supporting families as they navigate the challenging journey of grief and loss. We wholeheartedly understand the difficulties that arise along this path and it is our unwavering commitment to provide a safe and nurturing space. Here, healing can be explored with creativity and compassion, allowing families to find solace amidst the pain. We want every family to know that they are not alone in their journey. Our dedicated team stands beside them, offering unwavering support and understanding, and accompanying them every step of the way towards healing.

Welcome to our Ribbon of Hope program, a beacon of support for families navigating the challenging journey of cancer. Through this program, we offer targeted assistance that encompasses a wide spectrum of support. From providing essential needs aid and financial assistance to offering emotional support, advocacy, and therapy referrals, our goal is to infuse HOPE into the lives of those grappling with darkness.

Every 2 seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. We regularly hold blood drives to help address this need to save lives and bring awareness to health issues in under-funded and marginalized communities. At each drive, health providers are available on site and in these spaces to share resources and answer questions in communities where folks might not receive regular health care check ups.

There are over 13 million widows in the United States with approximately 800,000 widowed annually. This extraordinary program offers support for widows and their families. By collaborating with our community, we provide special items for families during their time of loss/grief and make sure that they are connected to resources.
