Health & Wellness.
We are committed to supporting the overall well-being of refugee families, recognizing that health includes more than just physical care. Mental and social well-being are also important parts of a healthy life. Our approach to health and wellness addresses these different areas to help create healthier, more stable refugee communities where individuals and families can thrive.
Where We Come In.
MEDICAL MINISTRY
Refugee Hope Partners’ Medical Ministry helps refugees access the healthcare they need. While we do not provide medical care ourselves, we connect families with trusted healthcare providers across the Triangle and help them navigate the healthcare system.
We also:
- Coordinate transportation to medical appointments through our volunteer network.
- Partner with local healthcare organizations to offer health screenings and other community health events.
- Provide health education through classes, workshops, and one-on-one support.
In 2025, we coordinated 700 medical appointments, helping refugees receive the care they needed while building confidence to navigate the healthcare system on their own.
BASIC NEEDS SUPPORT
Refugee Hope Partners’ Basic Needs program helps refugee families meet their essential needs as they adjust to life in the United States.
We help families:
- Apply for benefits such as Medicaid, WIC, and SNAP (Food Stamps).
- Access food, diapers, clothing, and other basic necessities.
- Understand bills, insurance, and the healthcare system.
- Connect with community resources and navigate unexpected challenges or family crises.
Our goal is to help refugee families build stability, become more independent, and successfully settle into their new communities.
Health & Wellness Partners.
We emphasize the importance of partnering with local medical providers, health agencies, and organizations within its health and wellness pillar. These partnerships are essential to ensure that refugee families have access to comprehensive healthcare services, addressing both immediate medical needs and long-term wellness. Collaborating with local health experts allows RHP to provide culturally competent care, preventative health education, and essential medical resources that refugees might otherwise lack. Additionally, RHP’s partnerships extend to social work services, which help refugees access clothing, Food Stamps, Medicaid, WIC benefits, and other vital resources. Through these vital health and social service partnerships, RHP strives to eliminate barriers to healthcare, promote wellness, and build a robust support system for refugee families.
