On behalf of APASA (Asian Pacific American Systemwide Alliance) at UCSF, we’re thrilled to introduce the inaugural AANHPI Health & Wellness Resource Week—a celebration of holistic health and well-being rooted in the diverse traditions of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) communities.
From April 28 to May 9, 2025, we invite the entire UCSF community to learn, explore, and experience traditional and modern wellness practices from across the Asian diaspora. This weeklong event will highlight Eastern holistic healing and showcase health practices from historically underrepresented and excluded AANHPI groups. Our goal is to create an inclusive, welcoming space where everyone can engage in meaningful conversations about well-being and discover new ways to care for their health—mind, body, and spirit.
Information about the event schedule, the different offerings and event registrations will be posted on APASA's website in the coming weeks: https://apasa.ucsf.edu/aanhpi-wellness-week
The events will be in mixed formats: in-person, virtual and hybrid.
We welcome everyone to our events—regardless of race, gender, religion, age, or ability — and encourage participation from:
✅ UCSF Staff, Faculty, Learners (students, postdocs, residents)
✅ UCSF Patients, Alumni, Volunteers
✅ The broader UCSF community
