This program pairs nursing students with refugee families to provide in-home health education and support. By fostering personal connections and offering tailored health guidance, the program aims to enhance the overall well-being of refugee families, empower them with knowledge and skills for managing their health, and bridge cultural and language gaps in healthcare access. This hands-on experience also enriches the students' education, preparing them for diverse healthcare environments.
