Refugee Child Health Program
Refugee families arrive in Philadelphia in search of freedom, peace and opportunity for their children. The Refugee Child Health Program at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) works to ensure that all refugee children have a healthy start to their lives in the United States. We focus on primary care for medically complex children who speak languages other than English. We work to eliminate health-related barriers that would keep children from entering and succeeding in school, and we help identify a healthcare provider who will give each child ongoing primary care.

From Chaos to Care
