History
Today, ICHS provides care to thousands of patients each year in nine locations throughout the region, but its journey started in very humble circumstances over four decades ago. ICHS' history is a story of the love, caring, commitment, and compassion that residents have for their community and for each other. In 1975, the Asian Community Health Clinic moved to the International District - and the International District (ID) Community Health Center was born. The ID Clinic, as many still call it, was the first of its kind in the nation to serve a diverse Asian population at one location. While much has changed in the more than four decades since ICHS opened its doors, its mission remains the same: To provide culturally- and linguistically-appropriate health services to anyone in need, including Asian Pacific Islanders, the unemployed, immigrants and refugees. Access to health care always makes for vibrant communities and strong families.
