Ismael and Ismel, two brothers from Venezuela, lately noticed a physician for the primary time since arriving in Chicago two months in the past.

Their mom, Maria Magdelena Andarra, stated the journey to the U.S. was not straightforward.

“They really haven’t suffered a medical situation, thank God for that, she said,” said Yolanda Peña, founding father of Life Impacters Foundation, who helped translate NBC Chicago’s dialog with Andarra.

“Both of the kids, they suffer from asthma so they wanted to get some sort of treatment for the asthma,” Pena stated, explaining why Andarra introduced her boys to Near North Health Center at 1520 N. Kostner Ave.

“Outside of work and housing, the greatest need is health care,” stated Harry Peña, Yolanda’s husband and co-founder of Life Impacters Foundation.

The group helped prepare for Andarra’s household and 4 dozen different migrants to get handled at Near North Health Center on Thursday.

“I’m an immigrant myself. I came to this country with my family and I understand you know, everyone’s unique needs coming in. A lot of our staff members are children of immigrants,” stated Dr. Dan Vicencio, chief interim medical officer at Near North Health, which has a number of places in Chicago.

Arriving from the Philippines at age three, Vicencio is now treating households arriving in Chicago with a wide range of situations.

“From trench foot and musculoskeletal issues, to colds, to flus, to depression, to all sorts of issues of possible sexual violence and what comes up from sexual violence, so those are the things that we’re seeing now, on top of our present workload,” he stated.

Seeing a mean of 60 migrants a day at its a number of places, Near North Health is a federally-qualified well being middle.

“That is our sole purpose for being here, for the community. We have certain resources that are available to us, but we also have very charitable community partners in our healthcare community that are able to take on some more burden,” Vicencio stated.

The inflow of sufferers has led to a necessity for extra bilingual well being care staff.

“We welcome any staff members who do have skills to help us in all of our sites throughout the city,” stated Vicencio.
