Immigrant Health Matters

Immigrant Health Matters is a new quarterly series of brief vignettes focused on immigrant health and health equity. Articles are designed to be read in three minutes and to provide an immigrant’s perspective of challenges in achieving health equity.

Health equity is generally defined as a state in which every person can achieve their highest possible level of health. Each article presents a scenario, provides background on related concepts, and discusses action steps for providers and organizations caring for immigrants.
