COMMUNITY HEALTH
Your Health, Our Priority
Since 2004, Xilin Association has been proudly offering free, comprehensive educational workshops to everyone in our community—including those who are underserved. It all started with the Women’s Breast Health Care Program, supported by the DuPage County Health Department. This ongoing initiative offers public health education and free medical screenings to uninsured women and seniors, making a real difference in people’s lives. To date, we’ve educated over 7,000 women and provided mammograms to more than 3,500 women, helping save countless lives along the way.
But we didn’t stop there! In 2021, Xilin was selected as an All of Us Research Ambassador—one of only 500 community organizations across the U.S. to take part in this groundbreaking initiative funded by the National Institutes of Health. This program aims to create the most diverse health database in history, and we're excited to invite one million people across the country to get involved.
In response to the pandemic, Xilin also joined the Asian Health Equity Alliance Initiative, formalizing a partnership to expand COVID-19 screenings, immunization, and mental health services within the Asian community.
We’re also doing our part in Hepatitis B prevention, partnering with medical organizations to provide free screenings. Plus, in 2022, we became part of a CDC-funded collaborative to assess the effectiveness of two common flu vaccines for adults aged 18-64. We’ve got you covered—whether it’s your flu shot or your peace of mind.
Xilin is proud to be leading the Asian Health Coalition as an Engagement Partner for the All of Us Research Program.
