WELCOME TO WORCESTER ASYLUM CLINIC

Health Professionals for Human Rights (HPHR) is UMass Med's student chapter of Physicians for Human Rights organization (PHR). PHR has the worldwide goal of preventing human rights abuses that cause physical and mental harm to victims. Thus, our principal aim is to increase awareness about human rights violations and engage in advocacy on behalf of vulnerable and persecuted individuals. As such, we have started the first asylum clinic in Central Massachusetts that helps asylum seekers in our surrounding community get the evaluations they need for their court case.
