Public Health Education and Outreach 

AHSC staff provide culturally and linguistically responsive public health education and outreach in five languages. Through this work, we aim to increase health equity and reduce health disparities among Asian communities throughout the Portland metro region. 

AHSC Receives OHA Public Health Equity Grant 

Since 2022, Asian Health & Service Center (AHSC) has received Public Health Equity Grant funding from the Oregon Health Authority to provide culturally and linguistically responsive services to Asian and underserved communities. AHSC is honored to continue receiving funding for the 2026-2027 grant cycle as one of 125 community organizations selected across Oregon.

This continued support strengthens AHSC’s commitment to promoting health equity through community-centered education, outreach, and prevention efforts.

Through this grant, AHSC will expand programming focused on:

• Commercial Tobacco Prevention
• Communicable Disease Prevention through Immunization Education

These programs will help increase access to trusted health information and support healthier communities by addressing language, cultural, and access barriers experienced by many Asian community members and families.
