The center took nearly a decade to become a reality, after a county-led study found notable health disparities and barriers to health and human services among the Vietnamese and Spanish-speaking communities.
A public celebration will be held Sunday for the full launch of health and wellness services at the county's Vietnamese American Service Center in San Jose.
The center, which opened in December, has added additional services on its second floor, including ambulatory primary care, behavioral health services, dental care, a pharmacy, and medical laboratories. Initial offerings included behavioral health navigation, Valley Health Center patient navigation, enrollment assistance for health coverage, emergency rental assistance, COVID-19 support programs, a Senior Nutrition Lunch Program, health education, and community wellness programs.
"Over the years, as we've watched the VASC go from concept to reality, it has been immensely gratifying to see it become one of the County's most beautiful and well-equipped buildings," said County Executive Dr. Jeffrey V. Smith, in a press release.
