This includes:

• Community outreach, education, and in-service trainings
• Sexually transmitted disease (STD) treatment, counseling, and referral
• Childhood and adult immunizations, counseling and referral
• Initial health assessment of all newly arriving immigrants with refugee or asylum status through the Virginia Newcomers Health Program (VNHP)
