WELLSHARE INTERNATIONAL WORKS IN CLOSE PARTNERSHIP WITH COMMUNITIES AND HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS TO ENSURE THAT THEIR JOINT EFFORTS ARE DEFINED BY LOCAL NEEDS AND ARE SUSTAINABLE. BECAUSE OF ITS EXTENSIVE OVERSEAS COMMUNITY HEALTH EXPERIENCE, INCLUDING 37+ YEARS OF WORK IN EAST AFRICA, AS WELL AS SIGNIFICANT EXPERIENCE IN SOUTHEAST ASIA AND CENTRAL AMERICA, WELLSHARE IS UNIQUELY POSITIONED TO WORK BOTH DOMESTICALLY IN MINNESOTA AND THE U.S. WITH THE IMMIGRANT, REFUGEE, AND OTHER UNDER-SERVED COMMUNITIES, AS WELL AS INTERNATIONALLY. OVER THE PAST 20 YEARS IN MINNESOTA, WELLSHARE HAS WORKED ON PUBLIC HEALTH INITIATIVES WITH SOMALI, OROMO, HMONG, AND KAREN (BURMESE) IMMIGRANTS AND REFUGEES, AND HAS EXTENDED ITS COMMUNITY- BASED HEALTH WORK TO REACH ADDITIONAL VULNERABLE AND UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES, INCLUDING THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN, LATINO, AND AMERICAN INDIAN COMMUNITIES.
