WHO WE ARE

As a grassroot organization, the Associated Health Resource Center (AHRC) provides culturally appropriate and gender specific programs to address the individual or group’s needs that posses major life challenges to their well-being.

While providing essential basic medical, and preventative social-health interventions remains our benchmark, AHRC combines self-help medical understanding of how culture, poverty and lack of access to affordable and quality health care and limited information that can prevent the individual from achieving optimal level of function.

WHAT WE DO

With this in mind, we provide training tools to assist individuals who are poor, low income and less educated to engage in activities that promotes self-sufficiency and increase their capacity and sense of worth as productive citizens. This we accomplished through multidimensional intervention strategies that directly involves the person, families or communities that are affected with the need(s).

The aim is to improve the individual’s quality of life. Through network of referrals and linkages, individuals living beyond the reach of medical care and health services, lacks access to support services and care are provided with community resource, lists and in some cases management and direct assistance from us through the generosity of our contributors and supporters. 

OUR MISSION

Associated Health Resource Center (AHRC) is dedicated to  creating a positive impact in the global community through the delivery of improved social-health care/services to people in need and under served populations. We accomplish this through public health education, trainings, awareness campaigns, advocacy, health promotion and maintenance activities, capacity-building /trainings, community outreach activities, community mobilization, medical missions and distribution of medical equipment, supplies and basic life essentials for survival including food, water, and clothing. Educated consumers make informed decisions regardless of their socio-economic status.

OUR VISION

To serve as a catalyst for the promotion of healthy life practices that enhance an individual’s overall well-being and improve quality of life. We believe that Healthier individuals + Happy Communities = Productive citizens. 

OUR OVERALL GOAL

Is to reduce social and health illness, disability and even deaths that are associated with preventable causes. Yet, each one of our initiatives have program specific goals and objectives.
