The H.O.P.E. Clinic
In 2002, the board and officers of the Asian American Health Coalition established the HOPE clinic to help address the unmet health needs of medically underserved Asian Americans and other residents of Southwest Houston. The HOPE clinic started out as an all-volunteer effort supported by the Chinese Baptist Church, which provided most of the volunteers and the Chinese Community Center, which provided the space to operate the clinic.
