Health
Our goal is to provide linguistically and culturally competent services to clients as they join the Middle Tennessee community.
NICE offers intensive case management services through the Elders and the Preferred Community programs. Case managers assist clients in the following areas: medical and mental health issues, insurance coverage, access to government services, social adjustment services, knowledge of US system and culture, and more.
NICE is also committed to providing health education, helping break down barriers that many refugees and immigrants face as they adjust to life in the United States.
Health Services
Preferred Communities Case Management
The NICE Intensive Case Management program offers culturally and linguistically competent services that help clients access medical and mental health services, social adjustments, and health screening and referrals. Our clients include people who are elderly, people with disabilities, survivors of violence and torture, and those experiencing psychological issues stemming from living through war and conflict.
Our case management team works closely with mental health care providers to connect clients to care and to troubleshoot issues as they arise.
Health Education
NICE’s health program provides culturally sensitive COVID-19 preventative education focusing on vaccine hesitancy, health system barriers, and distrust in western medicine.
Health Resources
Tennessee Office for Refugees (TOR) has created a health handbook in a variety of languages to help assist New Americans with healthcare and procedures in the United States. Topics include when to go to the ER vs. calling 911, insurance basics, hygiene items, and more.
