About
AACHI partners with the local Asian community in Austin to enhance public health and well-being. We fulfill our mission through language-specific education, advocacy, and healthcare navigation services. Our programs provide services for clients guided by the 5 social determinants of health, 1) Healthcare access & quality, 2) Education access & quality, 3) Social and community context, 4) Economic stability, 5) Neighborhood and built environment.
