Attended the International Refugee and Migration Health Conference
Three of our team members, including our CHW Service Director Ashley and our Senior CHWs Sayed and Hawo, had the opportunity to attend the International Refugee and Migration Health Conference hosted by Society of Refugee Healthcare Providers in Nova Scotia from June 26 to 30, 2025. It was an incredible experience for Ashley to present on the role of CHWs and highlight our innovative model as a company. We also facilitated two breakout sessions focused on health navigation and the social determinants of health, both of which sparked meaningful dialogue and knowledge sharing.
 
We are grateful for the opportunity to share our work and connect with others who are dedicated to improving health outcomes for refugee and migrant communities.
