Immigration and the Health Care System: An Institutional Analysis

Award Year: 2006 Investigator: Alejandro Portes

Health care facilities face challenges in coping with rapidly growing numbers of diverse immigrant patients who are poor, uninsured, and often unable to speak English. Alejandro Portes, Ph.D.
