ABOUT US

At Pacific Islands Primary Care Association (PIPCA), our mission is to promote and support quality primary health care for all Member Islands.

The Pacific Islands Primary Care Association (PIPCA) was established by health leaders in the Pacific Islands in 2004. PIPCA is a non-profit (501c3) organization governed by a Board of Directors. PIPCA was originally incorporated and opened its first office in the State of Hawaii, then added a second regional office in Saipan in 2020. PIPCA is the recipient of a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) grant to provide training and technical assistance to community health centers in the US-Affiliated Pacific Islands Jurisdictions (USAPIJ). Providing training and technical assistance requires logistical coordination across six or more time zones which span across the international date line. The USAPIJ include Palau, the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands (CNMI), Guam, the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI), and American Samoa.
