On Partner Appreciation Day of National Health Center Week, we’re grateful for partners like Baywell Health Community who joined forces with us to promote healing and safety across Oakland. Strong communities grow from strong connections, and together we’ve co-created events that celebrate culture, history, and unity—from vibrant Black History Month and Lunar New Year celebrations to healing circles and educational field trips.

Together, we’re building understanding and working toward a healthier, safer community for all.

We’re excited to share that Asian Health Services’ partnership with the Delta Dental Community Care Foundation was spotlighted in an article on Yahoo! Finance.

Delta Dental Insurance Company of California and Affiliates’ Access to Care Grants Program helped open AHS’ new Dental, Wellness & Teaching Health Center in San Leandro, allowing us to expand access to care and offer integrated dental and behavioral health services under one roof —an innovative concept first introduced by AHS to Northern California.

This partnership is already making a difference. For patients like Mr. Shon, a small business owner, he brushed off dental appointments as he found it difficult to communicate with dental and medical staff. At Asian Health Services, he was able to find a provider he could communicate with, finally getting the culturally competent care he needs.

Thanks to this collaboration, our community’s wait times are shrinking, and we’re training the next generation of dental professionals through our new residency program. Together, we’re building healthier, stronger futures — one smile at a time.

This Health Conditions Focus Day, we’re spotlighting Asian Health Services’ Happy Kitchen project and its “food as medicine” approach—using simple, healthy twists on familiar recipes to healing and preventing health conditions commonly afflicting Asian Americans like hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and heart disease. With simple, healthy updates to traditional recipes, Happy Kitchen proves that eating well doesn’t mean giving up flavor.

Earlier this year, we partnered with Made With Lau—a family-run cooking channel sharing Cantonese recipes—to illustrate how simple it is to create a healthy, culturally rooted meal right in your own kitchen.

In honor of National Health Center Week, today we’re celebrating the patients who helped shape Asian Health Services into what it is today.

We’re especially proud to highlight two former patients who return to AHS now to give back: AHS board member Michelle To and AHS physician Macy Lieu, DNP. In this video, they reflect on their journeys from patients to leaders in community health.

Thank you to our patients for trusting us and being partners in building a healthier community.

This National Health Center Week Staff Appreciation Day, we stepped away from the clinics and into the sunshine for a team lunch and time together.
