🙌 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!"

On Wednesday, June 5, Asian Health Services President Thu Quach, Peter Gee from Little Tokyo Service Center, and Natalie Ah Soon from Rams, alongside CA AA&NHPI Health Equity Coalition Mental Health Taskforces gathered in Sacramento for a hearing hosted by the State Assembly Select Committee and spoke on Mental Health Accessibility within Non-English Speaking Communities. The informational hearing was an opportunity for subject experts, community leaders, and constituents to uplift the challenges facing the AA&NHPI communities and offer data/research-backed, and community-informed recommendations. As a co-founder of the CA AA&NHPI Health Equity Coalition, AHS is proud of our advocacy efforts in securing this hearing with the Select Committee. Along with our community partners, we were able to mobilize 45+ attendees who all gave moving testimony and support following the hearing. Advancing Mental Health care access and quality for our patients and communities is a critical priority for AHS and we look forward to continuing in this effort. A very special thank you to Assemblymember Stephanie Nguyen who chaired the committee! .
