Asian Health Services, founded in 1974, provides health, social, and advocacy services for all regardless of income, insurance status, immigration status, language, or culture. Our approach to well-being focuses on "whole patient health", which is why besides primary care we also provide mental health, case management, nutrition, and dental care to more than 27,000 patients in English and over 12 Asian languages: Cantonese, Vietnamese, Mandarin, Khmer, Korean, Tagalog, Mien, Lao, Mongolian, Karen, Karenni, and Burmese. We offer medical, dental, and mental health services for all ages. We also recognize that a patient's health is directly linked to their social and economic circumstances. That's why we are dedicated advocates, and we fight for legislation that make our communities a safer and healthier place to live.

We are excited to announce that Language Access Bill SB 1078, which Asian Health Services is co-sponsoring with California Afterschool Advocacy Alliance, OCAPICA, Asian Resources, Inc., and Regional Pacific Islander Taskforce, has successfully passed the Assembly Human Services Committee! Asian Health Services CEO Julia Liou shares, “We are thrilled to take this bill to the next step. This bill will not only ensure that individuals with limited English proficiency can access critical health and social services in their language, but also result in cost savings for the state by reducing costly corrective measures that increase overall health care costs." Thank you to Assemblymember Alex T. Lee, Chair of Human Services, and Assembly Human Services Committee members for supporting the bill and to our AA & NHPI Health Equity coalition members who came to testify in support of the bill. Our gratitude to Senator Dave Min for authoring this bill and highlighting the importance of this legislation in this latest article: https://lnkd.in/gcaPp7ib

🙌 Thank you to National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) and Abbott for selecting Asian Health Services as one of 8 participants in the 2024 Health Center Innovation Incubator! AHS provider and project lead Christina Ng, MD shares, "Food is nourishment for both the body and soul, and cultural food beliefs drive our community’s decisions regarding what foods to buy and consume, so we need to work within these boundaries to ultimately impact their nutritional health and outcomes. Our plan is to create a curriculum that will provide a hands-on experience to educate and empower our patients to make 'healthful swaps,' teaching them ways to boost flavor without harmful additives, and how to modify common cultural dishes to be more wholesome yet retain the familiar flavors of their homelands. In this way, we will begin to shift the collective mindset to one where healthy food can taste good as well!"
Today, we’re kicking off our second Innovation Incubator together with Abbott. Congratulations to the 8 Community Health Centers selected to participate in this year's incubator: ⭐Affinia Healthcare, St. Louis ⭐Asian Health Services, Oakland, Calif. ⭐Cabin Creek Health Systems, Charleston, W.Va. ⭐ Delaware Valley Community Health, Philadelphia ⭐White House Clinics, Richmond, Ky. ⭐Mainline Health Systems, Inc., Monticello, Ark. ⭐Tri-Area Community Health, Laurel Fork, Va. ⭐URBAN HEALTH PLAN, INC., New York From the Bronx to the Bay Area, they're working to create sustainable, effective strategies to expand access to healthy foods and improve health.
