Pacific Islander Women's Health

UPIHC is committed to supporting the health of our Native Hawaiian & Pacific Islander women through education, advocacy, and improving birth outcomes for mothers.

Embrace Project Study

In partnership with the Utah Department of Health Office of Health Disparities, and University of Utah’s Wellness Bus, the study focuses on improving the health and wellbeing of racial and ethnic minority women (with Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders focus) across Utah's Wasatch Front.

This 9-month long program includes free services such as biometric screenings, dietician appointments, and mental health group sessions for participants.

Our program is currently in progress and will conclude in the summer, if you are interested in joining the next cohort, please contact our program manager Tima at embrace@upihc.org
