APHCV LAUNCHES NEW WEB SITE


LOS ANGELES - Asian Pacific Health Care Venture, Inc. (APHCV) unveiled its new look on the 
World Wide Web this winter with the launching of its redesigned web site, www.aphcv.org

Since APHCV receives numerous queries from other community based organizations (CBOs),
potential funders, and clients seeking information, the agency decided it was time to redesign its
site to more effectively promote APHCV, enhance its visibility, outreach and communication, and to
implement greater online capabilities.

"We are very excited about our new site," said Kazue Shibata, APHCV's Executive Director. "With
the rapid expansion for our services, we need a web site that will keep the public up-to-date with 
what's happening at APHCV, and we have that now."

Designed by Tin Yen Studios, the new site features updated photos and centralized information about
APHCV's services in English and six other languages, including Tagalog, Vietnamese, Thai,
Cambodian, Japanese, and Spanish. The new site also includes channels about APHCV classes,
enrollment assistance into various health insurance programs, job opportunities, giving opportunities,
APHCV publications, and links to APHCV's other online sites.

APHCV also plans to develop online surverys, statistical tracking tools, and promotional banners
and ads. Online users seeking information about APHCV will be able to contact the agency through
direct query submissions.

"We want to create innovative ways of communicating with the community," said Shibata. "Our new
web site is one more way to do just that."
