About Us
All For Health, Health For All (AFH) is a non-profit community clinic located in Glendale, California. More than 31% of AFH’s primary service area is located within a federally designated medically underserved area (MUA) , while nearly 60% of AFH’s patients live in an MUA. Access is assured for all patients regardless of ability to pay. In 2003, AFH served 5,869 unduplicated users through 18,780 encounters.
The United Way 2003 State of the County Report indicates that almost 32.6% of Los Angeles Service Planning Area (SPA) 2, in which AFH is located, shows residents living at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL), with those communities from which patients hail, having even higher rates at 36% for Glendale and 48.7% for North Hollywood. The portion of adjacent SPA 4, which also encompasses a portion of AFH’s service area, has 54.8% of its residents living at or below this standard. Public assistance recipients number more than 250,000 in each of the SPAs. Their poverty status has been compounded in recent years by escalating rents, which have increased by an estimated 32% in the past two years.
