IRC Denver welcomes new Executive Director Tanya Vitusagavulu

Sarah Suiter, a first-year Masters of Social Work (MSW) student at the University of Utah, worked with the International Rescue Committee (IRC) in Salt Lake City for the past eight months as a casework intern.

As the child of former refugees, who left the Soviet Union along with hundreds of thousands of others in the 1980s, Dax (‘Dan-Knee’) whose pronouns are they/them, has always felt connected to immigrant communities growing up in Philadelphia. Years later, they are now working at the IRC -- one of the largest resettlement agencies in the country -- as a Refugee Cash Assistance (RCA) Coordinator.

The IRC in Salt Lake City’s health team works hard to aid the people that we serve with holistic health services. Prior to arrival in the U.S., refugees are at particularly high-risk for dental infection due to a number of reasons. In this article with the U of U School of Dentistry, we share about the high need for dental education and services for refugees.
