It’s 2023! We are barreling into the New Year with fresh dedication to pushing forward practical solutions to the biggest issues in migrant and immigrant health. One way we keep up to date on the rapidly changing landscapes in which we work is to share news stories, journal articles, and more with fellow MCNers. Here’s this week’s Five on Friday, where we offer up five pieces that we shared this week.
