Immigrants and refugees have been growing populations in many cities across the country. These groups of people can have limited resources yet need health services. The experiences they have had in their home countries, or even while traveling to their current location can impact how much they trust health care providers. In this journal, reflect on any experiences, personal or professional, you have had with people from a culture different than yours.
Reflect on the difference between immigrants and refugees as well as the potential barriers each group may have in accessing health care. As a leader, what types of programs or resources do you believe would be most helpful for these populations?
