CPACS's core objective is to help immigrants and refugees achieve the American Dream. The center operates the CPACS Cosmo Health Center, a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) that serves populations with limited access to health care. Since 2005, the organization has held the Tea Walk, a two-mile empowerment walk along the Buford Highway Corridor to celebrate community diversity and promote civic engagement.[3] CPACS is a member of the Association of Asian Pacific Community Health Organizations (AAPCHO), which is part of the National Council of Asian Pacific Americans.[4] CPACS is one of the first and largest Asian American and Pacific Islander human services agencies in the Southeastern United States.[5] HistoryThe Center for Pan Asian Community Services was founded in 1980 and began as a volunteer-run organization providing health and human services to Korean Americans in the metropolitan Atlanta counties of DeKalb, Fulton, and Gwinnett. The organization steadily grew with the Asian American population increase following the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta and was able to expand its services. Into the 21st Century, the Center for Pan Asian Community Services has approximately 100 staff and serves over 30,000 people of all ethnic and racial groups annually.[6] References1. ^{{cite web|url=https://npin.cdc.gov/organization/center-pan-asian-community-services-incorporated|title=Center for Pan Asian Community Services, Inc.|publisher=Centers for Disease Control and Prevention|date=2015 |accessdate=October 11, 2015}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.immigrationadvocates.org/nonprofit/legaldirectory/organization.392817-Center_for_Pan_Asian_Community_Services_Inc|title=Center for Pan Asian Community Services, Inc.|publisher=Immigration Advocates Network|date=2015 |accessdate=October 11, 2015}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.wsbtv.com/news/events/neighborhood-community/tea-walk-october-10-2015/nnftf/|title=Tea Walk October 10, 2015|publisher=WSB-TV2|date=2015 |accessdate=October 11, 2015}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.aapcho.org/member/center-for-pan-asian-community-services-inc/|title=Center for Pan Asian Community Services, Inc.|publisher=Association of Asian Pacific Community Health Organizations|date=2015 |accessdate=October 11, 2015}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.volunteermatch.org/search/org717659.jsp|title=Center for Pan Asian Community Services|publisher=Volunteer Match|date=2015 |accessdate=October 11, 2015}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.volunteermatch.org/search/org717659.jsp|title=Center for Pan Asian Community Services|publisher=Volunteer Match|date=2015 |accessdate=October 11, 2015}} 1 : 1980 establishments in Georgia (U.S. state) |
