NCAPIP'S Mission
We are doctors who put our patients and communities first, and work towards optimal health for all.
Advancing Health Equity, One Community at a Time
In these challenging times for public health, NCAPIP stands as a trusted voice for AANHPI physicians and the communities we serve—over 10% of the U.S. physician workforce. From small safety net clinics to national health systems, we fight for equity, culturally responsive care, and the belief that healthcare is a right, not a privilege. We uplift disaggregated data, combat silent epidemics like diabetes, and champion the next generation of diverse medical leaders. As a bridge between frontline providers and national policymakers, your support helps us keep that bridge strong—and ensures that no voice or community is left behind.
Donate now to sustain this mission. We are advocates for patients and communities – not physician interests – and every contribution helps us continue this vital, values-driven work.
