About Us
The Regional Pacific Islander Taskforce (RPITF or “Taskforce”) was formed in 2015 to address the lack of data and reporting on Pacific Islander (PI) population health and health disparities in different health departments across the Bay Area. Serving as an advisory council to the directors of the health departments and their leadership, the Taskforce raises the awareness and visibility of Pacific Islander health and social issues by
- Educating counties on Pacific Islander history and culture
- Improving regional data collection and reporting on Pacific Islander communities
- Building intergenerational solidarity
- Increasing Pacific Islander civic-engagement participation
OUR MISSION
To champion the needs and priorities of Pacific Islander communities across the Bay Area through sustainable cross-system collaboration and inclusive, accessible programs that advance community health and well-being.
OUR VISION
The unification and flourishing of Pacific Islander organizations, faith-based communities, and businesses, and the maintenance of a thriving cross-county network of services to ensure the prosperity of Pacific Islanders across the Bay Area.
