SERVICES

CDR Health has joined forces with the Florida Department of Health (FDOH) in a collaboration aimed at addressing the critical Refugee Health Services backlog. This initiative is made possible through generous funding from The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) and the Florida Department of Children and Families. Once refugees finish their eligibility process with the DPH and join the refugee program, CDR Health conducts a thorough initial health assessment, encompassing lab tests, vaccinations, and a comprehensive health evaluation, all within 90 days.
