Community Health services are offered through a variety of programs. Some of the services AHS offers include: HIV/AIDS prevention and care programs; disability and vocational services; positive parenting and violence prevention, smoking cessation, diabetes education, CPR and First Aid certifications, immunization campaigns, breast and cervical cancer prevention, and much more.

Community Health programs provide prevention education and routine health screening through outreach. Culturally and linguistically appropriate, our programs meet people where they are, and ensure that the immigrant and refugee communities and other underserved populations have access to quality healthcare and other wraparound support services and to maintain a high quality of life. Several of our programs have been selected for "model of excellence" awards by the local and state health departments.

• The Banyan Tree Project provides HIV prevention education, testing/counseling, case management, housing advocacy, psycho-socio support, and individual and group counseling to those infected and affected by HIV/AIDS. 



• Multicultural Disability and Vocational Rehabilitation Services specialized in adult employment and youth transition services for individuals living with physical, cognitive and mental disabilities. As a state certified facilitator, the program provides home-based support services to developmentally disabled individuals.
• Health Promotion and Chronic Disease Prevention focuses on chronic disease prevention and violence prevention among children, youth, women, and the elderly. The programs include diabetes, CPR and First Aid certification for clients and providers, breast cervical cancer, hepatitis, smoking cessation, and positive parenting.
