Who's Behind This?
This page is a partnership between the Asia Pacific Cultural Center, the Pacific Island Health Board of Washington and Arcora Foundation. Pacific Islander communities are at an elevated risk for diabetes and other negative health outcomes related to sugary drink consumption, we are working together to empower members of these communities to drink a little less sugar in an effort to feel a whole lot better.
