Keith Carson: Information is Power!

The Asian & Pacific Islander American Health Forum (APIAHF), the Association of Asian Pacific Community Health Organizations (AAPCHO), the National Council of Asian Pacific Islander Physicians (NCAPIP) and Asian Health Services (AHS) held a community forum on health care reform and what a public plan option would mean the community. More than 300 members of the community attended the forum. Sherry Hirota, CEO of Asian Health Services hosts the forum and County Supervisor Keith Carson, Co-chair of the Alameda County Health Committee, speaks about how equal access to health care is crucial to our communities. There were translators for six different languages at the event: Mandarin, Cantonese, Vietnamese, Khmer, Korean, and Tagalog.
