I need to disclose that I worked at AHS as the Co-Director in the 1980's but have not been officially/formally affiliated with AHS since 1985 though has supported it through my personal contributions. AHS to me has always modeled what a community-based health clinic should be. It is solidly grounded in the community that it serves. It has always been "patient-centered" and a firm believer and doer to engage patients in advocacy for quality care/language access/universal coverage. It is not only a place where patients receive care in their own language, but are also educated about the healthcare system and supported to have a voice at the City, County and State levels. I fully support this effort and believe that AHS serves as a national model for engaging immigrant voices in defining how health care should be provided.
