About Us

The MATCH (Multidisciplinary Approach to Cross-Cultural Health) Coalition began in 1996 as an informal working group of volunteers and representatives from health and community organizations. Healthy House Within a MATCH Coalition, a cultural literacy and preservation project, grew out of that effort and has been an independent non-profit since January 2003.

The Mission of Healthy House Within a MATCH Coalition is to promote the well being and health of all people in our multi-ethnic community through the provision of education, services and advocacy which are founded in respect for language, culture and health equity.
