In December 2017, the Los Angeles County Office of Immigrant Affairs and Board of Supervisors, alongside local health care and legal providers, convened the Health Equity for Immigrants and Families Summit to advance a vision for immigrant health. We describe the four critical concepts identified by stakeholders to address the varied needs of immigrants in an increasingly anti-immigrant political environment: (1) Recognizing immigration status as a modifiable social determinant of health; (2) Adopting the concept of "Immigration-Informed Care" within health care institutions; (3) Establishing immigration-focused medical-legal partnerships; and (4) Building coordinated systems based on knowledge of local stakeholders, policies, and funding mechanisms.
2017年12月,洛杉矶县移民事务办公室和监事会与当地医疗保健及法律服务机构一道,召开了移民与家庭健康公平峰会,以推进移民健康愿景。我们阐述了利益相关者确定的四个关键概念,以在日益反移民的政治环境中满足移民的各种需求:(1)将移民身份视为可改变的健康社会决定因素;(2)在医疗机构内采用“了解移民情况的护理”概念;(3)建立以移民为重点的医疗法律伙伴关系;(4)基于对当地利益相关者、政策和资金机制的了解建立协调系统。
