The Year of the Fire Horse brings strength and momentum—and we see that same resilient spirit in our patients.
Jia Qi, an Asian Health Services patient originally from Tianjin, China, found community through dance after moving to Oakland. Now in her 70s, she’s been performing at local street festivals for 20 years and serves on our Patient Leadership Council.
“For the past few years, we always perform at the street festivals,” Jia Qi shares. “There’s tai chi, tai chi with fans, and dance. Listening to music improves your mood.”
Her story shows what’s possible when care extends beyond clinic walls—when elders stay connected, active, and engaged in their communities. Through our Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) Center, we’re creating dedicated space for culturally rooted connection so elders like Jia Qi can thrive and age with dignity.
