Refugee Health Information Network
Many hospitals, clinics, community health centers, and voluntary organizations operating in the United States provide a broad range of health services to refugees and others with limited English proficiency. Discussing health conditions and available services can be challenging without timely access to reliable, culturally and linguistically appropriate information.
RHIN is a national collaborative partnership that has created a database of quality multilingual, public health resources for those providing care to resettled refugees and asylees. Resources include:
- Health education materials in various languages and formats (brochures, fact sheets, videos)
- Provider tools (including information on refugee populations and cultures)
- Links to related Web sites
RHIN also provides links to existing sites specializing in refugee health, provides access to medical information from the National Library of Medicine, and offers a variety of posted documents from health care providers throughout the country.
