Melissa's Give in May Fundraiser!

The Austin Asian Community Health Initiative (AACHI) collaborates with local community partners to improve public health & well-being. We realize our mission by providing free, language-specific education, advocacy, & healthcare navigation services for diverse communities. 

AACHI Supports the Community via our:

1. Community Health Navigation (CHN) Program - We employ bilingual Community Health Workers (CHW) to facilitate access to & improve the quality of medical & social services for marginalized Asian and Asian American communities.
2. Annual Community Health Fair - A yearly event for limited English proficiency (LEP) refugee communities.
3. Mental Health Directory - An online tool for finding mental & behavioral healthcare in Texas, searchable by language & ethnicity to ensure access for those with LEP. 
4. Outreach, community-building, educational, mental health, vaccination, and cultural events. We partner with other local organizations as much as possible to create collaborative events + programming.
5. Other programs providing culturally-appropriate services guided by the 5 social determinants of health.

Each year, AACHI:

1. Serves 300-400 Asian immigrants and their families
2. Assists community members in gaining or maintaining health coverage (over 95% of our clients are covered compared to 79.3% of Texas adults)
3. Schedules over 1,000 medical appointments for clients & attends hundreds of them with clients to advocate for them
4. Responds to events such as COVID-19, winter storms, etc. to support our clients' needs
