The Korean Resource Center’s Health Access Program seeks to improve the health status of Korean Americans, foster a belief that health care should be incorporated into our daily lives and ensure Korean American representation in the health policy, funding, and education.
Our Goals
- To expand eligibility for public health benefits;
- To increase the number of affordable private health insurance options;
- To increase Korean American enrollment in public and private health insurance plans;
- To improve language access to public health coverage and private health insurance; and
- To provide medical services through the establishment of a local free clinic
Korean Resource Center provides low income families, seniors and children with free consultation on accessing to federal or state government sponsored health care programs which include Healthy Families, Healthy Kids, Medi-Cal for children and Access for Infants and Mothers (AIM), and assists them in filling out application forms for those programs.
