The CDC developed domestic and overseas medical screening guidance for healthcare providers who may see refugees during the resettlement process. This guidance aims to: promote and improve refugee health, prevent and identify disease, and familiarize refugees with the US healthcare system.
These exams are comprehensive medical exams that screen for a wide range of communicable and non-communicable conditions (including TB, HIV, GI parasites, hepatitis, STIs, diabetes, hypertension, pregnancy, and other). We also screen for mental health disorders and give immunizations at the visits.
We are currently the only contracted providers in Pima County doing Domestic Medical Screening Exams for newly arrived refugees.
Our screening clinics are done in conjunction with the refugee resettlement agencies in Tucson who we partner with and are done within 90 days of refugees arriving to the US.
These clinics are the patients first interaction with the healthcare system in the US and our favorite part is welcoming people warmly to our country!
