Refugee and Immigrant Health Care

Peak Vista Community Health Center is proud to provide health coverage for immigrants and refugees. As a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), our ongoing mission is to remove barriers and increase access to quality medical care for the underinsured and uninsured. That is why it’s important that our services also extend to immigrant health care. 

Refugee Care is provided at the Logan Center on the Myron Stratton campus, and handles both the intake process as well as medical care. With an estimated 150 refugees annually, Peak Vista works with Lutheran Family Services as its community partner in this effort. 

Coordination between the two agencies includes: 

• Enrolling patients
• Reviewing paperwork
• Identifying appropriate interpretation services
• Assessing the need for outside evaluations prior to care at Peak Vista
• Communication with caseworkers
• Coordination of schedules for family medical visits
