The Maryland Department of Health’s Center for Global Migration and Immigrant Health supports culturally-informed and language-accessible health screening for all humanitarian immigrants that can identify health conditions that compromise their well-being, provide vaccinations required for school and work, and refer clients to primary, public health, and/or specialty care providers for ongoing healthcare.​
