We’re excited to share that PAPA has been invited again by AFSA to volunteer at their upcoming Community Health Fair on July 26 at the APICHA Community Health Center in Jackson Heights, NYC!
This event brings together community members, healthcare providers, and volunteers to promote accessible, culturally responsive healthcare services in the heart of Queens. And we’re thrilled to support their efforts!
This is a great chance to give back, connect with other volunteers, and make a real difference in the community. Whether you’re a student, professional, or passionate about public health, we’d love for you to join Team PAPA on the ground!
