What We Do

About Us
Who we are 
ProtectAZ Health is a nonprofit medical organization providing free medical evaluation, medications, and during the pandemic, COVID-19 testing, vaccination, and treatments.  

Who we serve 
Medically vulnerable refugees and asylum seekers that enter Arizona and are released by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or Customs and Border Protection (CBP). We are the first humanitarian stop in Phoenix for legal asylum seekers and refugees, which is a major release point here in Arizona for people with destinations both here in The Valley, and throughout the rest of the United States. Our patients are from all over the world, and they end up settling all over the United States as they continue their journey seeking legal citizenship. 

Medical Needs

Every day, our medical team encounters patients with a variety of urgent medical needs. 


We frequently see the following:


Newborns with our team being the first providers they meet 


Pregnant and Postpartum Women we are often the first providers they meet. Many of these women are late term and high risk. 


HIV/AIDS patients many travelling without access to medications 


Diabetics patients many come to our clinic in diabetic crisis and without adequate insulin. 


Psychiatric conditions like bipolar, depression and schizophrenia. Many patients come to us having lived through traumatic experiences. 


Chronic Medical Conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, seizure disorders, cardiovascular diseases, wounds, fractures, trauma, and more.


Where we serve


Most of our work is done in our South Phoenix facility. Due to the sensitive nature of this work, we cannot make public the exact location. 


We have also worked throughout the COVID-19 pandemic across the State of Arizona assisting high risk and underserved communities. We have had a presence in homeless shelters throughout the Valley, in group homes, memory care facilities, and in schools/communities with a high percentage of Medicaid recipients.
