Popis: "As trends in immigration evolve across the United States, health care professionals must find a way to provide equal care to all patients, regardless of immigration status. This article addresses the special and unique health challenges faced by pediatric immigrant patients, and ways to address these challenges by leveraging community partnerships and a holistic approach to care. The article draws on the experience of Community Volunteers in Medicine, a nonprofit, philanthropy-funded health clinic that offers free medical, dental, and behavioral care to the uninsured of Chester County, Pennsylvania."
