Medical Assistance

One of the basic needs of human life is good health. Health care is one of the most important issues that Asians face. Many Asians work hard, receive low pay and are not covered by medical insurance. Besides the language barriers, it is easy for Asians to neglect their health care. There are all sorts of reasons: fear of communication, fear of inability to pay, and lack of knowledge of where to go for treatment. AHS connects Asians to particular support for the prevention of serious illness (etc. breast cancer and uterine cancer for women, prostate check up for men and children's immunization services).

Employment Services

Medical Assistance

One of the basic needs of human life is good health. Health care is one of the most important issues that Asians face. Many Asians work hard, receive low pay and are not covered by medical insurance. Besides the language barriers, it is easy for Asians to neglect their health care. There are all sorts of reasons: fear of communication, fear of inability to pay, and lack of knowledge of where to go for treatment. AHS connects Asians to particular support for the prevention of serious illness (etc. breast cancer and uterine cancer for women, prostate check up for men and children's immunization services).

Employment Services

AHS assists Asian people in finding secure employment, including information regarding the existence of and location of jobs. AHS also aid the applicant with the procedures relating to getting a job.

Interpretation / Translation

AHS assists community development by networking with other community organization such as schools, physicians, court, hospitals, and attorneys. These and other social services request the help of AHS in language interpretation and translation.

General Advocacy Services

AHS assists Asians in pursuing equal opportunities for services in the community (hospitals, clinics, schools, and legal offices)

Referral Services

AHS refers Asians to other service agencies for medical services, legal aid services, etc.

Domestic Violence and Abuse

AHS provides information concerning domestic violence as well as providing information regarding shelters from this violence and abuse.

Citizenship Classes

We are teaching English and civics for the U.S. citizenship exam to Asians who have been in the USA for 5 years and want to be naturalized.

Breast Cancer/Self-Examination Workshop and Survivor After-Care

Housing Arrangements for Newcomers.

Search for doctors certified to do the immigration status adjustment medical exam.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Finding an Authorized Doctor

When you apply for a green card (adjustment of status) in the United States, you usually need to have a medical examination. The exam must be done by a doctor who is authorized by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). USCIS designates certain doctors (also known as civil surgeons) to perform the medical exam required for most Green Card applicants. Military physicians are authorized to perform immigration medical exams at a military treatment facility within the United States for U.S. veterans, members of the U.S. military and designated dependents.

Immigration medical examinations performed outside the United States and its territories must be done by a panel physician. Panel physicians are different from civil surgeons. Panel physicians are designated by the Department of State and provide immigration medical examinations required as part of visa processing at a U.S. Embassy or consulate abroad.

What to Bring to the Exam

Bring the following to your medical exam:

Form I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record

Government-issued photo identification, such as a valid passport or driver's license. If you are 14 years old or younger, bring identification that shows your name, date and place of birth and parent's full name. Possible forms of identification include your birth certificate (with an English translation) or an affidavit.

Vaccination or immunization record (such as DT, DTP, DTaP, Td, Tdap, OPV, IPV, MMR, Hib, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, varicella, pneumococcal influenza, rotavirus and meningococcal disease)

Medical insurance card (check with the doctor's office to make sure the office accepts your medical plan)

Payment (check with the doctor's office about acceptable forms of payment). It is also a good idea to call a few doctors to find out how much they charge for the exam. Prices can vary by a few hundred dollars.

During the Exam

The medical examination entails a review of your medical history and a physical examination.

The doctor will complete a comprehensive examination that will include a review of your medical history and a physical examination. The doctor will also test for communicable diseases such as tuberculosis, syphilis, and gonorrhea.

After the exam, the doctor will complete Form I-693 and seal the form in an envelope for you to submit to USCIS. Make sure you get a copy of the completed Form I-693 for your personal records before the doctor seals the envelope. USCIS will not accept the form if the envelope has been opened or altered.

For full details, please go to uscis.gov/i-693.

Reporting a Problem

If you have any concerns regarding a doctor's behavior or actions, contact your state medical board. If you have concerns regarding the immigration medical exam or the I-693, make an appointment with your local USCIS field office.

Low-cost and free services for grieving children, youth, their families. Bilingual staff (Spanish)

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The death of someone you love can be one of the most difficult experiences of your life. When a child experiences the death of someone significant, his or her feelings and thoughts may become confusing and overwhelming. Brooke's Place provides an environment where children and their families have the opportunity to share their story and begin to heal.

CHILDREN, TEENS, YOUNG ADULTS AND THEIR FAMILIES LIVING WITH GRIEF FEEL SUPPORTED AND UNDERSTOOD

Children and teens grieve differently than adults. A 5-year-old boy can only grieve with his 5 years of experience in life. The same is true for a 15-year-old grieving girl. She now has to manage teenage life, while also deeply grieving her loved one. In the long term, unrecognized or unreconciled grief may negatively impact a child as he or she enters adulthood.

DESIGNED TO PROVIDE HOPE

At Brooke's Place, children learn to honor and cherish the loved ones that they carry in their heart. Through peer support groups and therapy services (individual/family counseling), children learn they are not alone. Together, they learn to recognize, express and embrace their thoughts, questions and feelings about grief and loss. We provide caring programs to support grieving children and their families in a safe and confidential atmosphere. Learn more about our Grief Support Group Program, Therapy Services, BP-8 Program and Camp Healing Tree .

Gurinder Kaur is a servant leader, compassionate advocate for equity, and champion for social justice.

Gurinder was born and brought up in New Delhi, India. Her formative years were influenced by her middle-class working parents-both teachers. As a Sikh, Gurinder learned the principles of seva, which means selfless service for altruistic purposes on behalf of, and for the betterment of a community, early in her life. Gurinder endeavors to make an impact on the lives of those who need it most through her service on the boards of local nonprofits and by working in the community gardens to provide fresh produce to food-insecure neighbors in south Indy.

Professionally Gurinder trained as a physical therapist in India and arrived to work at Oakwood Hospital in Dearborn, Michigan in the early 1990s on an H1B visa. She fondly remembers the day her plane was preparing to land at the Detroit Metropolitan Airport, and she saw white clouds on the ground. As she stepped outside, the bitter cold Michigan winter wind hit her face and she realized that the white cloud on the ground was snow. Gurinder still is amazed by the snow to this day.

Gurinder earned her post-professional master's degree in physical therapy from the University of Indianapolis in 1995. In October 1999, Gurinder became a proud citizen of the United States of America. In 2001, Gurinder earned her master's in public health from the Fairbanks School of Public Health. Since then, she has worked in leadership roles in public health, nonprofit, and most recently in higher education at the University of Indianapolis. Gurinder is the proud mother of two children.

Mastering reading, writing, and comprehension of the English language can unlock a future of greater potential through access to better job opportunities.

Due to our unique model at Indy Reads, our ELL Community Classrooms offer both highly individualized lesson plans that incorporate the goals of each student and sensory-cognitive instruction, which allows students to progress faster. The same instruction that we provide our literacy students also improves progress with ELL students, especially since English is not a phonetic language.

Students attend class 6 hours a week in person or online. An Indy Reads teacher facilitates the overall lesson while trained tutors and AmeriCorps WorkLiteracy Coaches work with students in small groups. Tutors enable the instructor to teach at a pace appropriate to each student, rather than being forced to teach to the majority. When students reach a comfortable level in both reading and listening, they are eligible for our HSE Diploma program. Our Student Navigator can also connect students to certification programs or college education programs.

Our vision to Make Indianapolis 100% Literate will give everyone the necessary skills for a greater quality of life. For more information about Indy Reads, call (317) 275-4040 or fill out this . online form
