A Community Effort
Newcomers Health Program is a program of the San Francisco Department of Public Health implemented in collaboration with ZSFG’s Family Health Center’s Refugee Medical Clinic. Through these and other collaborations, and a range of clinic- and community-based programs and services, we promote the health and well-being of refugees and immigrants in San Francisco.
