About us

Built by us. For us.

Our Story

Mongolian American Health Institute began with a simple but powerful idea: that every Mongolian American deserves access to primary and preventive healthcare - and the opportunity to achieve their best possible health, without barriers.

Founded by Mongolian public health and nursing professionals, we saw firsthand how language, unfamiliar systems, and lack of tailored resources created barriers to care.

MAHI was created to bridge those gaps—by the community, for the community.


Our Mission

To improve the health and well-being of Mongolian Americans through culturally tailored education, collaboration, research, and advocacy.
