U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) selected Dr. Kimberly Keller of Health Center to conduct medical examinations for immigration purposes, those who are applying for adjustment of status to permanent residence or those who are required by the USCIS to have a medical examination. There are only three other physicians in the Ypsilanti/Ann Arbor area who are able to provide these services. Dr. Keller is seeing patients affiliated with EMU and from the wider community in this capacity.
