About the Coalition
์—ฐํ•ฉ ์†Œ๊ฐœ

The Korean Health Coalition identifies and addresses critical healthcare needs facing the Korean American community in the Greater New York area. By bringing together organizations and individuals with diverse expertise, the Coalition is able to take on challenges that would be difficult for any single member to address alone โ€” achieving outcomes that are greater than the sum of their parts.
