Approximately half a million women migrate to the United States annually; more than two-thirds of them of childbearing age. Early entry into the health care system may be the most effective way to ensure positive health at lower costs and to enable ever-shrinking health care resources to be used most effectively. Immigrant women, however, face economic, legal, linguistic, and cultural barriers to health care. Successful programs have been developed to systematically address immigrant women's health care issues, targeting preventive health services and education to diverse communities.
每年约有50万女性移民到美国；其中超过三分之二处于育龄期。尽早进入医疗保健系统可能是以较低成本确保良好健康状况并使日益减少的医疗资源得到最有效利用的最有效方式。然而，移民女性在获得医疗保健方面面临经济、法律、语言和文化障碍。已经制定了成功的项目来系统地解决移民女性的医疗保健问题，针对不同社区提供预防性健康服务和教育。
