Helping Philadelphia's Newest Residents

Our mission is to provide Philadelphia’s immigrant population the healthcare, education, and support that they need to improve their lives and empower this community to reach its potential.

We advance this mission through four lines of programs, largely directed at, but not exclusive to, the immigrant population in Philadelphia. First, we provide English language instruction, tailored to the service industry. Second, we run Community Health Days (CHDs), which provide free dental and medical care services to all immigrants. Third, our dental programing provides dental care to those in need at low or no cost through our partner dental clinic. Fourth, we run additional occasional programs to serve the acute, changing needs of our community.
