"Join the Society of Refugee Healthcare Providers and Adrien Matadi for a Q&A session about community health navigation refugees and newcomers.
I am Adrien Matadi and I was born in Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo, then known as Zaire. I served under Mobutu’s regime as a Peace Officer in the Special Unit and was posted in Egypt and Sudan for 6 years.
I used to be a Care Navigator at Denver Health for 9 years, and now I am a Project Specialist. As a Care Navigator, I focused much of my work on in the Denver Health Refugee Clinic as a refugee intake and scheduling specialist. Now, I work in developing standard work for different projects such as Latent Tuberculosis Infection known as LTBI, Linkage to care, Covid 19 Outreach, etc. I have been in Colorado for 17 years and I have been working with refugees since my arrival in March 2006. I started working with refugees in 1997 when I became a refugee myself. Back in Ethiopia, I earned different positions in the refugee communities such advisor to field director of Jesuit Refugee Service, Urban Refugee Coordinator with UNHCR, ARRA (Administration for Refugees and Returnees Affairs), and all NGOs dealing with refugees. While in exile, I earned a law degree in Humanitarian and Human Rights Law and associate degree in Auto-Mechanics in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. I also hold CCNA certificate in Computer Science and several other public heath related certificates.
This session will be an informal, discussion format. There will be no slides or presentation, but an opportunity for participants to ask any questions they have about community health navigation for newcomer populations. Please submit your questions ahead of time through the registration form or by emailing sarah@refugeesociety.org."
