As an Asian American born in raised in the State of Hawaii, this is important to me and my community here in Tucson. Press release info:

Information on the new healthcare laws and how to sign up to get healthcare coverage will be presented in English and selected Asian languages (Chinese, Korean, Tagalog, Vietnamese).
