OUR MISSION
The Alameda County Health Coach Program (ACHCP) aims to improve the health of community members by pairing them with culturally sensitive health coaches. Health coaches assist patients in understanding their health plan, making medical appointments, identifying resources, and advocating for themselves. Health coaches help bridge the gap between clinician and patient by helping patients navigate the health care system, offering emotional support, and serving as a continuity figure in their lives!
