API LGBTQ Programs

Since our founding, we have worked hard to remain rooted in API communities while welcoming anyone who needs our services. We grew out of the response to the 1980s AIDS crisis, specifically supporting the impact of the epidemic on the Asian and Pacific Islander community, and in 1996, we launched as Asian & Pacific Islander Wellness Center. In 2015 we became recognized as a federally qualified health center (FQHC) which allowed us to increase our clinical capacity and serve more of our community. Our presence in the Tenderloin and Little Saigon is significant to us and stems from our mission to meet our community’s needs, location accessibility, and its cultural relevance. In addition to providing new programs, evolving with the needs of our API community, we maintain many of our legacy API programs to this day, including projects like the Joy Luck Club, our historic support group for APls living with HIV.
