Academy of Medical & Public Health Services

What Academy of Medical & Public Health Services does

Academy of Medical & Public Health Services (AMPHS) is a 501(c)(3) public not-for-profit organization founded in 2010 and headquartered at 5306 Third Ave, 2nd Floor, Brooklyn, NY. The organization delivers culturally-competent health and wellness services to immigrant communities in Brooklyn through a portfolio of programs categorized as Health Services, Social Services, Education & Training, Community Building, Resource Center, and Community Centers, complemented by a Programs Calendar and a walk-in service model (Tuesday–Saturday, 10:00am–6:00pm). Its stated value proposition is community capacity building — empowering immigrant communities to develop their own culturally sensitive health and wellness paradigms rather than imposing externally designed models.

AMPHS operates its public health programs through an operating d/b/a called RaisingHealth Partners (RaisingHealth), under which the organization functions as the grant-receiving, grant-making, fiscal, employing, and contracting entity. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors chaired by Scott Nolen, PhD, JD, and led by President & CEO Hewett Chiu, MPA, FAHM, with a C-suite comprising a Chief Compliance Officer (Sandra George, JD, MBA), Chief People Officer (Amparo Peterkin-White, MEd, SPHR, SHRM-CP), Director of Programs (Desiree Brown-Malta, PhD, MPhil, MPA), and a Coordinator of Development (Grace Aaronson). Headcount is reported in the 11–50 range.

The underlying technology stack is service-delivery rather than product-based; the "core technology" is described as a culturally-competent public health program delivery platform with no proprietary features, APIs, or AI/ML components. The business model is grant-funded nonprofit operations: AMPHS raises funds from grantors (inquiries routed to [email protected]) and distributes programming through community centers, walk-in services, online resources, and community engagement. There is no disclosed pricing, no enterprise sales motion, and no earned-revenue stream. The go-to-market motion is community-led, relying on direct community engagement, newsletters, and grassroots program participation. No public funding rounds, acquisitions, partnerships, or M&A activity are disclosed.
