Our Goal

To be a leader in providing culturally sensitive health services to persons who have fled their home country due to persecution (political, religious, or economic) in search of a better life and self- sufficiency in the United States.

Our Mission

1) protect the health of the general population in Miami-Dade County by promptly diagnosing and treating eligible newly arriving refugees with communicable diseases and
