Asian Health Coalition of Illinois
AHCI is a grassroots organization, created by community members and health care providers in December 1996. AHCI received non-profit 501(c)(3) status in 1998. Today, the coalition is composed of a diverse array of community-based organizations, health care providers, and public health officials.
Our mission is to improve the health and well being of all Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPIs) in Illinois through the development of an AAPI health agenda that includes:
- Advocating for culturally and linguistically appropriate services and programs;
- increasing representation of AAPIs in all levels of the health care policy/ decision-making process;
- Providing technical assistance for programs promoting culturally and
linguistically appropriate community health education and disease prevention
while overcoming barriers to health care access;
- Serving as a clearinghouse, think tank, and resource center for all Illinois based health related organizations for AAPI issues; and
- Combating invisibility by increasing and improving the collection, analysis,
and dissemination of data about AAPI populations and sub-populations.
