000010031 520__ $$a Multnomah Mid-County Health Center (MCHC) is one of nine Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) in Multnomah County in Oregon that provides primary care to refugees from East and Central Africa (RECA) and helps them to resettle safely.  As of September 2022, MCHC had an active patient population of approximately 2,200; 300 of these patients self-identify as RECA patients. RECA patients have been found to make appointments with their providers before accessing food resources, causing a delay in accessing food resources. To better understand the baseline knowledge of RECA patients regarding how to access food resources and whether they were aware they could access those food resources on their own without making appointments with their provider, a five-question survey was developed to assess this baseline knowledge. Patients over 18 years who self-identify as RECA patients were surveyed between October 4, 2022, and November 15, 2022. Survey results revealed RECA patients did not face challenges making appointments with their providers for accessing food resources, but they were not aware they could access those food resources without making appointments with their providers. Survey results also showed that although the majority of respondents spoke English, they were not able to write in the English language. This DNP project focused on understanding whether RECA patients are aware they can access food resources on their own without making appointments with their providers. Providing patient-oriented resources would be the next step for this health center.
