The Center for Inclusion Health is a Division of AHN’s Medicine Institute that strives to transform our healthcare system through innovative clinical care models, advocacy, training and research to better serve all people, including those experiencing social and health exclusion. We envision a health care system from from health and social inequities, especially for vulnerable and marginalized communities. This vision includes a world where people can accept care and embrace healing.
The suite of CIH programs aim to remove barriers that can prevent some people from seeking the care they need with a focus on increasing access, training and education and program effectiveness. The programs include: the Center for Recovery Medicine (CRM), Homeless Health Care, HIV services (Positive Health Clinic), Healthy Food Centers to address food insecurity, Immigrant and Refugee health which includes a Doula program, Transgender Health, Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) program with advocates available in the health care setting for immediate access and Post Incarceration clinic to link newly incarcerated individuals to health services and buprenorphine treatment when needed.
