Our Journey So Far

The YAHPA leadership team features talented professionals and students with a wide range of experiences in both private and public healthcare institutions.

About Us

YAHPA (Young Asian Health Professionals Association), emerged in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic in spring 2020. At that time, misinformation and limited access to services and care were major issues, particularly for seniors and unilingual Asian immigrants living in Quebec. A group of health professionals and students came together to help this community by creating coronavirus information guides, developing community resource lists and translating health measures announcements, all in Asian mother tongues such as Mandarin, Cantonese and Vietnamese. Their goals were to optimize quality and access to care and to reduce inequalities caused by language barriers to the Asian community in Quebec.

Our mission is to reduce health equity gaps of Asian communities by improving health promotion, disease prevention and access to healthcare through education, direct services, building an interdisciplinary healthcare professional platform and advocacy.

Table Tennis: Fourth Edition

YAHPA officially launches a campaign to invite more healthcare professions in the Greater Montreal area to join its online registry.

Our YAHPA Sharing Circle invited Asian Canadians from all generations to come together and engage in meaningful dialogue about their intergenerational trauma. Participants explored the complexities of cultural identity, resilience, and healing. By sharing personal narratives and listening to others, we were able to foster understanding, empathy, and community support.
