Asian Health Services

??Asian Health Services recently won 1st?place in National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) ’s 2024 Innovation Incubator powered by Abbott at the Milken Institute?Future of Health Summit. AHS physician Dr. Christina Ng and dietician Eliza Chan pitched the "Happy Kitchen," a program AHS piloted this past year to improve health equity by engaging our community about nutritious food and healthful cooking in their native languages. Through the pilot, the team created two cooking courses, one in Chinese and one in Vietnamese, geared towards showing that culturally relevant, nutritious meals can be delicious and easy to prepare. The next stage of the program will be to reach a wider audience by working with culturally relevant food influencers to spread the message about healthy cooking and eating.? ??We're grateful to the judges for recognizing the importance of engaging communities on healthy eating in culturally relevant and linguistically accessible ways!
