2022

Our Impact
Since 2010, we have helped over 150,000+ immigrants—serving as an entry point into their new community.
We understand that healthcare is not exclusive to the clinic or hospital, and that most “real care” happens outside of the medical setting. That’s why we not only strive to address community members’ current health issues, but also promote disease prevention and wellness related to other social determinants of health. Our programs and services offer an integrated, culturally-sensitive, holistic approach for the health and wellness of immigrants. Ultimately, this means we are not just treating the body of a patient, but serving an individual human being.
