Share Your Expertise With Montgomery County’s Asian American Communities
The County's Asian American Health Initiative(opens in new tab) (AAHI) is looking for physicians to help bring trusted, culturally responsive health information to Asian American residents. You choose what fits your schedule, from speaking at a community workshop or webinar to reviewing clinical content or joining AAHI's volunteer steering committee. AAHI handles the outreach, scheduling, materials and language support.
Topics include prostate, breast, cervical and lung cancer, diabetes and prediabetes, heart health, nutrition, maternal and infant health, and behavioral and mental health.
Two projects need help now. A photonovel series on healthy pregnancy and postpartum recovery needs maternal health experts to review its content, and HEART, a culturally responsive mental health support group program, has contracted openings for behavioral health professionals.
To get involved, call AAHI at 240-777-4517 or email AAHI@MontgomeryCountyMD.gov(opens in new tab).
