Why we started ADC — and what we're trying to build together.
A letter from our founder on the gap between lab science and kitchen-table conversations, and how a Utah nonprofit can bridge it.
The Asian Development Center is a Utah-based nonprofit advancing community health, education, and scientific research — through free screenings, hands-on CPR training, and culturally grounded outreach to underserved and immigrant families. Good science belongs to everyone.
Every family deserves the same access to health information, preventive care, and trust in the system — regardless of language, income, or where they were born.
ADC was founded in early 2026 by a team of public-health researchers, clinicians, and community organizers who kept running into the same gap in Utah: world-class science happening in labs and hospitals, while the families most in need of that knowledge were the last to receive it.
We exist to close that gap. Our work sits at the intersection of rigorous public-health research and community-rooted delivery — free screenings, hands-on CPR and first-aid training, plain-language health education, and research that partners with communities rather than studies them from a distance.
Based in Herriman, Utah, we serve Salt Lake County and the Wasatch Front — and, through targeted partnerships, support underserved communities internationally and in disaster response.
Each of our program areas maps directly to the mission filed in our founding charter: community health, education, and scientific research — delivered where people actually live, in the languages they actually speak.
Free blood-pressure, glucose, and wellness screenings at community events, places of worship, and local partners — with language-matched navigators to connect people to follow-up care.
Learn moreHands-on CPR, AED, and first-aid classes — free for community members, subsidized for faith communities and immigrant-serving organizations. We come to you.
Learn moreWorkshops and materials translated and culturally adapted for Asian American, immigrant, and refugee families — covering chronic disease, mental health, preventive care, and how to navigate the U.S. health system.
Learn moreCommunity-engaged public health research in partnership with local universities and clinics — including work on antimicrobial resistance, infectious disease surveillance, and health equity.

Sunil Pandey founded ADC to close a gap he kept running into as a public-health researcher: the families most affected by preventable disease were also the least likely to see the science that could protect them.

An introduction to the surveillance work we're doing with local partners, and why it matters for every family in the Salt Lake valley.
Before we designed a single program, we asked neighbors what they actually needed. Here's what they told us — and how it's shaping our first year.
