The Hopkins, Esperanza, Asylee Women And Loyola (HEAL) Refugee Health and Asylum Collaborative is a collaboration among Johns Hopkins University (JHU), the Esperanza Center/Catholic Charities, Asylee Women’s Enterprise, and Loyola University Maryland to increase access to forensic physical and psychological evaluations, mental health care, and other services to survivors of torture and trauma seeking refuge in the United States. The first such dedicated physical clinic in the Baltimore area, HEAL works to address the needs of Baltimore’s burgeoning population of asylum-seekers. Services are located at The Esperanza Center, a comprehensive resource center whose mission is to welcome immigrants by offering hope, compassionate services, and the power to improve their lives. This grant provided operating support.
