HEALTH ASSESSMENT INFORMATION FOR REFUGEES, PAROLEES AND ASYLEES
The vision of the Florida Refugee Health Program (RHP) is to be a leader in providing
Culturally sensitive health services to persons who have fled their home country due to
Persecution (political, religious, or economic) in search for a better life and self sufficiency
in America. Within this vision is the protection of public health from communicable disease
through the review of overseas medical examination records and the provision of health
screenings and immunizations.
The Refugee Health Program provides, through federal funding from the federal Office of
Refugee Resettlement, a health assessment and immunization services for the following
groups of individuals: refugees, asylees, Cuban/Haitian asylum applicants,
Cuban/Haitian entrants (including parolees), Amerasians, and certain victims of severe
forms of human trafficking.
