The Health of Newcomers
Immigration and health care are hotly debated and contentious issues. Policies that relate to both issues—to the health of newcomers—often reflect misimpressions about immigrants, and their impact on health care systems.

By looking at a diverse range of topics, including food safety, death and dying, and pandemic preparedness, Wendy E.
