Academy of Medical & Public Health Services Information

The Academy of Medical & Public Health Services (AMPHS) is a not-for-profit health service organization based in Sunset Park, Brooklyn with a triple aim to identify barriers to health and wellness in underserved immigrant communities; coordinate truly needed primary care with social assistance; and deliver care with dignity and empathy to marginalized New Yorkers. Through its community public health interventions, AMPHS lends to the empowerment of individuals and communities to create their own local and culturally-sensitive health and wellness paradigms. Not only does it strive to tackle clients’ current health issues, but it also promotes disease prevention related to other social determinants of health. In doing so, it creates a safe, open environment where local residents can discuss health concerns and seek care without regard to socioeconomic status, ethnicity, documentation status, and any other discriminatory factor.
