Successful applications will describe effective plans to serve the refugee population by providing a comprehensive health screening to newly arrived refugees. A health screening should begin within 30 days of the newly arrived refugees arrival to the U.S. The health screening must be completed within 90 days of arrival to the U.S. ORR holds that the purposes for health screening are as follows: • To ensure follow-up with medical issues identified in an overseas medical screening; • To identify persons with communicable diseases of potential public health importance; • To enable a refugee to successfully resettle by identifying personal health conditions that, if left unidentified, could adversely impact his or her ability to resettle; and • To refer refugees to primary care providers for ongoing health care. Applicants must explain how they would provide services to achieve these objectives. The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) release this Request for Grant Applications (RFGA) in order to award funding to a qualified healthcare provider to implement a Refugee Health Screening Program in Lucas County, Ohio.
