About
Asian Health Services, founded in 1974, provides medical, dental, and behavioral health services to more than 50,000 patients. Their approach to well-being focuses on “whole patient health” for all. They go beyond their clinic walls and invest in their community’s overall health. They know that income, housing, and environmental struggles lie at the heart of poor health. That’s why they also address food insecurity, youth leadership, and culturally competent care while working towards supporting safer streets and vibrant communities.
