Our story

How CCHPA Began

CCHPA began with a shared vision among healthcare professionals: to support one another professionally while giving back to the communities they serve.

From that vision, the Carolinas Chinese Healthcare Providers Association grew into a multidisciplinary network of physicians, dentists, pharmacists, nurses, researchers, therapists, and other healthcare professionals committed to education, collaboration, and community service.

Today, CCHPA continues to connect healthcare professionals across North and South Carolina while promoting excellence in healthcare and improving community well-being.
