On Friday (Nov. 20, 2015), several community organizations will host the Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Health Summit in Houston. The event is at the Rice BioScience Research Collaborative, located at 6500 Main Street.

We discuss the health needs and challenges specific to providing health care to these communities with two guests: Cathy Phan, Health Initiatives Project Manager at the HOPE Clinic; and Koshy Thomas, founder and publisher of Voice of Asia News Group and HealthLine Magazine.
