Bridging Health and Community
Worcester RISE for Health was founded in 2023 by multiple community-based organizations that recognized the need for a healthcare system better suited to the unique needs of Worcester’s growing refugee and immigrant populations. The goal of RISE (Refugee and Immigrant Support and Empowerment) is to provide easy-to-navigate primary care, maternal child health support and behavioral health services to those newly arriving in the Worcester area, some of whom are in temporary housing or shelters.
