Our partner, AACI (Asian Americans for Community Involvement), focuses on improving health and increasing healthcare access for Asian Americans in the Bay Area.
This National Minority Health Month, we're saluting Community Benefit partner AACI (Asian Americans for Community Involvement) and their decades of service to the Bay Area’s large and diverse Asian American community. Since 1973, AACI has worked to improve health and increase healthcare access for Asian Americans, particularly those who are marginalized and vulnerable and who may face barriers to health and wellness care. Current programs include:
- Primary care and oral health services
- Behavioral health and substance use prevention and treatment
- Support for survivors of torture
- Shelter and services for domestic violence and human trafficking survivors
- Senior wellness and youth programs
- Community advocacy
Community Benefit Program funding helps AACI provide medical assistance and patient navigator services, including:
- Medical care appointments and follow-up care
- Interpretation services as needed
- Patient enrollment support for Medi-Cal, Covered California and the Primary Care Access Program as needed
- Depression screening
- Referral for behavioral health and other specialized care as needed
- Linking members to community resources, such as food, housing and transportation programs
AACI is a valuable partner in improving healthcare access and delivery, identified as a critical need in our 2024 Implementation Strategy Report and Community Benefit Plan.
