PHIDH - Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month Lunch and Learn

The Public Health Institute at Denver Health (PHIDH) is proud to host Dr. William Wei for a lunch and learn in celebration of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month (AAPI). AAPI Heritage Month is a time to celebrate our AAPI neighbors and community and it is more important than ever in light of increasing incidents of anti-Asian violence. This presentation, titled “What you always wanted to know about AAPI’s but were afraid to ask,” will highlight and celebrate the AAPI contributions to Colorado/the U.S., and discuss the recurring instances of violence and inequities that persist.
