Immigrant Health Clinic Project

ISIS is working with local health care providers and other stakeholders to develop a model for a local primary care health clinic for government assisted refugees. The model will have two health clinics providing primary care to refugees within their first year in Canada. They will also build a bridging system that supports newcomers transitioning into the local primary health care system. The model is based on collaboration and best practices for immigrant and refugee health care delivery.

There will also be a space for sharing resources about immigrant and refugee health during the project’s development phases.

You can help by:

Learning about immigrant and refugee health
