Refugee Health Partners works closely with Dr. Marc
Altshuler, Director of the Jefferson Center for Refugee Health and several
local organizations to provide health and social services to Philadelphia's
recently resettled refugee population. Current projects include two monthly
student-run clinics in South Philadelphia, health screenings, educational
workshops and ESL programs, urban gardening with refugee communities and
case-management services for patients. Our future plans include opening a third
health clinic for African refugees in North Philadelphia, organizing a college
prep course for high school refugees, and establishing a series of clinical
skills training sessions for lower-year Jefferson students. For more
