We are a free medical clinic run by Asian American Community Services. When you come into our clinic, you will be seen by a team of volunteer physicians alongside medical, pharmacy, and undergraduate students from The Ohio State University.
We specialize in caring for Asian-American and Asian immigrant patients. We utilize in-person and electronic translation services and welcome non-English speaking patients.
We also specialize in caring for patients with Hepatitis B and offer a quarterly Hepatitis B Clinic. In addition, we offer free screenings for high-risk populations (e.g. Asian and Somali populations).
We’re committed to providing you and your loved ones with exceptional care in a compassionate and friendly atmosphere.

ABOUT AACS
Who is AACS?
Asian American Community Services (AACS) is the premier non-profit community-based organization serving the needs of Asian, Asian American and Pacific Islanders in Central Ohio. Since 1976, AACS has led efforts to empower and develop the local Asian community through its expansive and proactive programs and services.
What does AACS do?
Asian Americans have been long labeled by mainstream American society as the “model minority” who have achieved greater socioeconomic success than any other minority group in the United States. However, Asian Americans are an incredibly diverse population, and the accomplishments of those visible to the mainstream have masked the struggles of particular groups within the community. Certain Asian ethnicities face poverty rates over two times that of the national average, low educational levels, and many other realities that are not reflected in the "model minority" myth.
These issues in the Asian community are rooted in cultural, educational, and language barriers. AACS seeks to raise awareness of these challenges in mainstream society and to create a better quality of life for all AAPI persons in Central Ohio regardless of citizenship status, cultural or ethnic background, socioeconomic level, or any other factor. To achieve these goals, we offer services in four major areas: Youth & Family, Health Care & Prevention, Community Education, and Interpreting & Translation.
Mission Statement
To improve the well-being and quality of life of Asian Americans and Asian immigrant families in Ohio by providing social services and empowering individuals through education, training and leadership.
