Asian Health Services celebrates 50 years
In 1974, a group of young student activists founded Asian Health Services, a one-room clinic in Oakland Chinatown on Harrison Street. The students sought to address the pressing need to provide underserved immigrant populations with culturally competent healthcare regardless of income, insurance, immigration status, language, or culture.
From providing 1,500 medical visits in our first year to now serving over 50,000 patients, we thank all those who have partnered and served with us in the past five decades. As we celebrate our 50th year, join us and our community as we reflect on our journey to provide healthcare for all and advocate for the underserved.
