Dear Supervisors Beall and McHugh:
Thank you for sponsoring the FY 2007 budget request for the AACI health clinic!

Focusing on the diverse Asian American community, Asian Americans for
Community Involvement(AACI)’s mission is to improve the health, mental health,
and well-being of Individuals and their families by providing an array of human
services. AACI empowers the Asian American community by working
collaboratively for equality and social justice.

The AACI health clinic provides primary care to Santa Clara County residents
regardless of their ability to pay. Most of the patients who use the clinic are low-

income Aslan Americans with limited or no English language skills. The clinic
provides services to patients of all ages In English, Mandarin, Cantonese,
Vietnamese, and some Indian dialects.

The AACI health clinic is the only community clinic in the county dedicated to
serving the Asian American population, and it is currently at full capacity. One
time county funding would allow AACI to double the clinic from 5 to 10 exam
rooms, and increase patient visits from 5,600 to 12,000 per year.

By providing primary care, the AACI clinic helps residents avoid costly
emergency room care at the county hospital. The clinic is cost-effective and
addresses unmet community need.
