Our Impact
“Many immigrants and recent arrivals have no meaningful access to appropriate behavioral and physical healthcare due to immigration and insurance status, language barriers, poverty, social differences, and complex trauma histories and medical needs. Prior to arrival, they have been persecuted because of who they are, what they believe, who they love, how they pray, and the way they appear. RISE for Health, integrating cultural competence into its care from start to finish, is the remedy to a healthcare system that is presently unable to meet the complex needs of recent immigrant and refugee arrivals in Worcester County.” - Alex Mooradian
Worcester RISE for Health was established in May 2023 as a 501c3 non-profit charitable organization to provide Primary, Behavioral, and Maternal Healthcare to newly arriving refugees and immigrants.
