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

This role focuses on advocacy, community engagement, and outreach while representing the underserved Asian community's health rights and needs. The position involves planning and implementing advocacy activities, organizing health education events, and participating in public forums, policy discussions, and community partnerships.
