Refugee Health

2,000+ refugee health assessments completed, tripling the previous year and maintaining the highest rate statewide

Community health centers have a history of stepping up in times of crisis. Our willingness to answer whenever there is a call is ingrained in our movement. So when thousands of displaced Afghan and Ukrainian families arrived in our community calling out for care, we did what we always do. We answered.

Each newly arrived neighbor who visited a CCI health center underwent a comprehensive health assessment to evaluate their current health status, received treatment for chronic conditions, and accessed a care plan to help maintain their wellness. We completed over 2,000 refugee health assessments, tripling the previous year as we maintain the highest rate statewide.

More than clinicians, we welcomed our responsibilities as advocates for families with young children. We handled the required paperwork to ensure kids registered for school and confirmed they were up to date with their shots. And as they make their way through school, graduate, and go on to accomplish great things in their careers, they can always count on us to be there for them along the way.
