Every year, we set goals and hit them.
2021 & 2022
One of our major accomplishments in 2021 & 2022 was being selected as a recipient of the City of Long Beach’s CARES award. With these funds, Advantage Health Now was able to offer culturally sensitive Health Equity Education to the Black Community. The Health Education through this grant funding was a year-long program that covers early detection, prevention, reducing vaccine hesitancy, and knowledge of trusted sources to help reduce misinformation and disinformation.
We were also a funded partner of the State of California. AHN Foundation was instrumental in providing health equity and inclusion within the Black community as it is related to vaccinations.
