This amazing organization improved the health status of African Americans in Portland Oregon for over 19 years. They continually raised funds in order to provide access to chronic illness and diseases management health education classes that many community members otherwise could not afford.
There clearly has been a community void since this agency closed. They have truly been missed!!
Review from Guidestar
The AAHC is a dysfunctional, disorganized and disappointing organization. The CEO is incompetent and unable to facilitate a positive working environment, as evidenced by the high turnover in employees. While there is an undeniable need for health services and programs specifically tailored to the African American community in Portland, Oregon, this organization fails to deliver. The highlights of this organization are the discounted memberships to several community centers and pools in town, as well as the walking groups for senior citizens. Overall, the AAHC has the potential to provide beneficial programs and services, but not until there is a turnover in senior management.
