• NYU School of Medicine Center for Immigrant Health

The Center for Immigrant Health's mission is to facilitate the delivery of linguistically, culturally, and epidemiologically sensitive healthcare services to newcomer populations. The Center strives for the elimination of ethnic and racial disparities in healthcare.

The Center for Immigrant Health (CIH) was established in 1990, as the New York Task Force on Immigrant Health (NYTFIH). NYTFIH grew out of the first national symposium in immigrant health. In recognition of its nationally recognized role in immigrant health, NYTFIH became The Center for Immigrant Health in 2000. CIH is a partnership of community members, practitioners, researchers, social scientists, policy makers, and advocates. The Center bridges immigrant and refugee communities and the healthcare system. CIH facilitates the delivery of epidemiologically informed and culturally and linguistically sensitive health services.
