Refugee, immigrant and migrant communities face multiple systems barriers that negatively affect health

Colorado Newcomer Health Community of Practice

 

Recent immigrants to Colorado face significant challenges when accessing healthcare, including navigating complex systems, understanding shifting policy landscapes, and overcoming cultural and linguistic barriers. These challenges often result in care fragmentation, reduced access and poor health outcomes. This ECHO series is designed to equip healthcare providers and care coordinators with practical knowledge and strategies to address these gaps through policy awareness, system navigation, culturally responsive communication and attention to social determinants of health. This series features peer-to-peer discussions and expert presentations focused on the newcomer care landscape in Colorado. By the end of the series, attendees will be better prepared to provide comprehensive, equitable care to Colorado's newcomers.

AUDIENCE
Medical providers, care coordinators, mental health and public health professionals who work closely with newcomers in Colorado
