Nursing Without Borders

A deep dive into what it means to care for people, regardless of national origin. The story lays out the research on the effect of living in a country without documentation, and describes things providers might miss if they aren’t sensitive to the ways that undocumented immigrants are stigmatized–primarily the aversion to asking for help, a different definition of what it means to be healthy, and the real health needs of undocumented immigrants.
