Tarrant County Public Health's Refugee Program works in cooperation
with the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI) to provide
incoming displaced persons from around the world with screenings for
general health, nutrition and tuberculosis (TB).
General
health screenings include testing for HIV, blood pressure checks,
vision testing and parasite testing. The health screenings also help
the clinic staff identify pre-existing conditions, medication usage
and pregnancy. Blood tests, weights and heights are evaluated for
nutrition. Skin testing, immigration medical evaluation and chest
x-rays are done as needed to evaluate for tuberculosis.
Immunizations for immigration requirements are done in TB/Refugee for
people that are newly arrived, or are older arrivals with certain
eligibilities. Adults as well as children are serviced in the
TB/Refugee program.
