BEFORE THE CLINIC is an incorporated nonprofit organization currently in the process of applying for federal 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. It exists to support immigrant families in the moments before a healthcare visit—when symptoms may be unclear, rights may be unknown, and fear and uncertainty can prevent people from speaking up. We focus on preparation, not diagnosis, by teaching families how to recognize concerning symptoms, understand their patient rights, and organize thoughtful questions before entering the exam room. Through community-based workshops and culturally informed education, we aim to reduce confusion, build confidence, and help immigrant patients participate more actively in their own care.
医护执导是一个非营利组织，目前正在申请联邦 501(c)(3) 免税资格。我们致力于在就医前为移民家庭提供支持—当症状尚不明确，不了解自身权利，恐惧与不确定感让他们难以开口表达时，我们希望成为他们的依靠。我们关注的是“准备”而非“诊断”，通过教导家庭如何识别值得警惕的症状、了解自身作为患者的权利，以及在进入诊室前准备好周全的问题，来帮助他们做好准备。我们会通过社区工作坊和文化敏感的教育，旨在减少困惑，增强信心，并帮助移民患者更积极地参与到自身的医疗保健中。
While this application includes Chinese translations for accessibility, this opportunity is not limited to Chinese-speaking students or communities. BEFORE THE CLINIC is committed to serving immigrant families across diverse language backgrounds in NYC. We plan to expand our workshops and educational materials into multiple languages to better reflect and support the broader immigrant communities we aim to serve.
