The giving season is here! On #GivingTuesday, our network and supporters turned out to support MCN. We raised a total of over $2000! But we still have significant work to do to meet our end-of-year fundraising goals, to support MCN programs that are essential to the health of thousands of migrants, asylum seekers, immigrants, and others. Help us bring health justice to the most underserved corners of the country, help us equip clinicians with tools and resources to improve care, help us save lives and connect migrants and asylum seekers to the care they desperately need -- please donate! We are as always very busy building practical solutions to the biggest issues in migrant and immigrant health. Here are some articles that we wanted to share with you – five articles from MCN staff, with one Weekly Win.
