All of the future activities of the
organization are planned with the purpose of relieving
the poor, the distressed and the underprivileged African
immigrant population and other minority group living
in New York City. AHC services are as followed:
AHC
Provides health education and information on such
topics as HIV/AIDS, diabetes, mental health, asthma,
obesity, smoking cessation, pregnancy, childbirth,
etc. These activities will serve to lessen
the burdens of the government by providing information
vital to the welfare of the community and which
the government would otherwise provide. It
also serves to combat community deterioration by
informing the public of health risks and ways to
stay healthy and avoid contamination. Individuals
trained and educated in the respective areas of
health will run these workshops. back

AHC serves as a bridge between mainstream service
delivery systems and the African immigrant population.
The purpose of this activity is to relief the poor,
distressed and underprivileged immigrant population
by providing easier access to the services and programs
they need. Our referral program will include
referrals to the following: health insurance, employment,
child care, immunization, GED, food pantries, housing,
immigration services, etc. This list, however,
is not inclusive. This program will be conducted
by trained case managers.
AHC
provides case management for our individual clients. This
service will relieve the poor, distressed and underprivileged
immigrant population by helping new immigrants to
better integrate into American society so that they
can maximize their potential and achieve stability
for their future.
AHC
staff conducts home visits. The home visitation
program will serve to relief the poor, distressed
and underprivileged by providing those in need with
a resource and advocate to the outside world.
AHC
provides translation services. Translation
services will be provided to lessen the burdens
of the government and relieve the poor, distressed
and underprivileged African immigrant population
by providing individuals with the resource to conduct
their personal and professional business in an intelligent
manner.
