Your donation will help invest into RISE operations as we build foundation of an organization that aims to re-envision health care for newly arriving refugees and immigrants to achieve health equity.

The vision of Worcester RISE for Health is to see refugees and immigrants lead healthy and productive lives in the US and thrive physically, emotionally, socially, and economically.

The mission of Worcester RISE for Health is to build and provide effective, culturally-sensitive, trauma-informed and community-grounded healthcare interventions that eliminate barriers and help refugees and immigrants achieve health equity and self-sufficiency through innovation, co-location, capacity-building and collaboration.

Our goal is to provide the following services:

• Primary care
• Prenatal Care
• Mental health care
• Support groups
• Refugee and Immigrant Community Health Workers
• Education on health navigation
• Language interpretation and translation

• Cultural competency training for healthcare providers and other professionals

To achieve this goal we need your help in building our organizational capacity through developing robust operations and bringing together a team of strong professionals with passion to serve this population.

Additionally, we need to renovate our space to create medical office which would be co-located with a number of community-based organizations including RIAC, WCAC, WIC, United Way, and many others.
