For the Benefit of All: Ensuring Immigrant Health and Well-Being

Immigrants and their families contribute to the diversity and economy of the nation, contributing to vibrant, productive, and healthy communities. Yet, immigrants face several barriers to health and well-being. Some result from being disproportionately low income and uninsured; others are unique, such as cultural and linguistic barriers; limited eligibility for public benefits; and bearing the brunt of unwelcoming public views, attitudes, and policies. Addressing these barriers benefits immigrant populations and strengthens entire communities, and the nation as a whole.
