Health Productions
BRCW Health Productions are a partnership between BRCW Staff, healthcare professionals, and volunteers working to provide access to medical services and information to our community.

Pop-Up Health Screenings @REC Center
This partnership brings together BRCW, TRIUMPH medical students from UW School of Medicine, and local health professionals to provide our community access to free basic screenings, facetime with medical professionals and interpreters, and contextualized health information. Food and donations are provided at events too. A poster created by a TRIUMPH cohort linked below
Community Mental Health Projects
Our partnership with Sebastian Family Psychology and Dr. Zhao saw an exploration into Rohingya mental health dynamics by conducting research (PDF linked below),
We hosted panel discussions on Rohingya community mental health featuring education and mental health professionals across the country that serve Rohingya and other refugee groups.
Rohingya & Burmese Health Videos
Our partnership with TRIUMPH medical students saw students find and vet Rohingya and Burmese language health videos and put them into an easy to use file and provided to Hospitals and other healthcare providers to share with their Burmese clients. BRCW went a step furthur and put all the individual videos and made them into playlists on the BRCW YouTube Channel.
COVID 19 Pandemic Relief
BRCW responded to the COVID 19 pandemic and lockdowns by shifting conventional outreach efforts to digital outreach avenues. Our first health events at our Center were vaccination outreach. The following years saw over 1,000 vaccines delivered during at our center, and BRCW founder, Mohamed Anwar was awarded the 2022 Immunization Champion of Wisconsin.
Food Security & Nutrition
BRCW programs include addressing food security and nutrition for Burmese newcomers in Wisconsin. By hosting regularly scheduled culturally appropriate food donations as well as a stocked food pantry we provide our community welcome resources.
Our plans include broader partnerships to build community farming and gardens, home gardening support, and increased access to farmers markets and other fresh and healthy food. Read more...
