  • Correspondence with healthcare providers
  • Instruction on how to use public transportation to access local healthcare facilities
  • Education on pharmacy procedures and understanding prescription medications

  • Bi-weekly healthcare seminars taught by healthcare professionals

MRS’s comprehensive healthcare programming aims to strengthen the long-term health and self-sufficiency of all eligible refugees, by providing initial services and preventative education to help identify health needs and prepare refugees to handle future health issues that may arise.
