Bilingual +CHW at AHS connecting East Oakland's most vulnerable residents — unhoused individuals, recently incarcerated, and immigrant families — to Wellness Center primary care, behavioral health, and ECM services.
Alameda Health System (AHS) is Alameda County's public safety-net system. Its flagship, Oakland's Wilma Chan Highland Hospital, is the county's only Level I trauma center and a 236-bed UCSF teaching hospital with the county's busiest emergency department; the system also runs San Leandro and Fairmont hospitals, John George Psychiatric Pavilion, and four FQHC wellness centers serving 40,000+ primary-care patients. About 90% of AHS patients rely on Medicare or Medi-Cal, and a $200M Epic EHR launched in 2019. H.R. 1 Medicaid losses are projected to climb from roughly $30M in 2026 toward $150M by 2028, on top of a ~$91.7M FY2026 deficit. AHS proposed 296 layoffs in January 2026; the County Board of Supervisors deferred them March 4 (reduced to 188) and the SEIU 1021 contract was ratified April 9, 2026 — averting the cuts while the structural deficit remains.
