The Refugee Health Program protects the public's health by ensuring the health of refugees (persons who have fled their home country due to persecution in search of a better life and self-sufficiency in the US). The program provides eligible refugees with no-cost health services, including a health assessment and immunizations required for immigration status.  Refugees with identified health conditions are referred to primary care physicians and specialists for follow-up health care.

Who is eligible for the Refugee Health Program?

• Refugees
• Asylees
• Cuban and Haitian asylum applicants
• Cuban and Haitian entrants (including parolees)
• Amerasians
• Certain victims of severe forms of human trafficking
