Abstract
Omaha is identified by the Office of Refugee Resettlement as a nationally preferred metropolitan resettlement site. Forced displacement, due to exposures to violence, deprivation, and risky environments, creates challenges to people’s physical and mental health and encourages agencies to meet the health and healthcare needs of refugees. Creighton’s Florence Clinic in North Omaha is a unique health care center that serves refugees from various countries and ethnic groups, in addition to members of the local community. The Florence Clinic is committed to just and equitable care for all people. Clinic staff provides both initial health screenings and ongoing individual and family health care for refugees living in Omaha.
