Solidarity and Healing 

We're only in the first month of 2023, yet 38 mass shootings occrred in the US this year. Within the last weekend, two mass shootings occurred within the Asian community, perpetrated by Asian elder gunmen. A 67 year old Chinese gunman murdered 7 Chinese farm workers and injured 1 person in two separate locations in Half Moon Bay. Another 72 year old Vietnamese man murdered 11 people and wounding 9 others in a shooting at a dance studio in Monterey Park, during Lunar New Year celebrations. 

The UCSF Asian American Pacific Islander Coalition has compiled a list of resources for solidarity, support and healing within UCSF and the greater Asian community. 

 

 

Happy Lunar New Year

2023 is the Year of the Rabbit. 

Lunar New Year is not a federal public holiday. However, a new bill signed by Governor Gavin Newsom in 2022 is honoring an important cultural holiday in a new way. AB 2596 recognizes Lunar New Year as an official state holiday.

COVID Equity Work Group’s Report on Goals, Accomplishments and Lessons Learned 

The UCSF Health COVID Equity Work Group, a subgroup of the Health Equity Council, was formed in November 2020 to address racial-ethnic inequities in COVID among UCSF Health patients, UCSF employees, and the San Francisco community. The experiences of the Work Group offer important lessons for efforts to achieve health equity—both for equity in COVID outcomes and for health equity more broadly. Based upon these learnings, the COVID Equity Work Group makes recommendations for institutional actions to advance health equity at UCSF Health and the UCSF campus.
