Welcome
The AIFS Health Screening & Education Center supports African immigrant and refugee families, other immigrant and refugee community members, and other community members facing barriers to care.
We offer a place to ask questions, take part in preventive screening and health education, and understand your next steps, in a language and a way that makes sense to you.

Four simple steps from screening to care
Your visit may look different depending on the event. Call us to confirm what is available.
Screen
Take part in the screening or health-education activity offered at that event.
Understand
Our team explains your results in clear language, in your language, so you can ask questions.
Connect to Care
If you need more care, we explain your referral options and next steps.
Follow Through
Community Health Workers help remove barriers and support your next connection.
The AIFS RELAIS Pathway
RELAIS guides how we move from reaching people to helping them stay connected to care. It is a navigation framework, not a clinical diagnosis protocol.
Reach
Bring prevention information and screening to families at the Center, community events, and partner locations across the Omaha metro.
Evaluate
Listen to each person’s questions and understand their screening or navigation need.
Look for Risk
Notice screening results or barriers that may need attention, and explain what is known.
Advise
Share practical, understandable information and help identify next steps.
Integrate
Connect the person to appropriate care or community resources with a warm handoff.
Sustain
Support continuity and follow-through when the program includes follow-up.
Screening scope, referral destinations, and follow-up are confirmed by program, event, staffing, consent, and partner participation. Learn more about RELAIS →

Screening, learning, and community care
Community members fill out their forms while a member of our screening team gets ready for an oral health check. Every screening day starts with simple paperwork and time for your questions — then we guide you through each step.
A team member checks a community member’s blood pressure. This quick, simple check can find high blood pressure (hypertension) early, before it causes serious problems. We explain your results right away, in clear language.
Why we created this Center: to make healthcare more accessible, to prevent diseases through early screening, and to support the well-being of our community. Our message is simple — get screened, stay informed, live well.
Before a screening, visitors review their forms and talk with our team. We take time to answer questions and explain what will happen, so everyone feels comfortable and informed.
Our screening room at 3706 S 132nd St in Omaha is bright and calm, with separate stations so several people can be screened at the same time. Everyone is welcomed with respect, in a language and a way that makes sense to them.
Oral health screenings under way at two stations — for adults and for a visitor with a little one on her lap. Our team checks teeth and gums, explains what they see, and helps you connect with a dentist if follow-up care is needed.
Meet part of the team behind our screening days: AIFS staff and health professionals working side by side. Together, we bring health knowledge, cultural understanding, and language support so every family feels welcome.
