Our mission is to create practical solutions at the intersection of vulnerability, migration, and health.
We envision a world based on health justice and equity, where migration is never an impediment to well-being.
A Letter from our CEO
Dear friends,
This past year reminded us—once again—that health is not guaranteed, access is not equal, and justice is not inevitable. But it also reminded us of something more powerful: when we stand together, we move forward.
At Migrant Clinicians Network, we’ve faced devastating policy changes, rising mis- and disinformation, and deepening fear in the communities we serve. Federal restrictions have made it harder to share scientific information, fund vital programs, and reach those most at risk. And yet, we are still here—standing tall, meeting the moment, and leading the charge for migrant and immigrant health. We will not be deterred!
Every day, our team works alongside clinicians across the country to ensure that care is grounded in science, delivered with compassion, and shaped by the realities of the people we serve. From heat safety guides and infectious disease response to mental health and diabetes management, our work is as urgent as ever.
Together, we are not just navigating crisis—we are building resilience and standing as a force for health justice.
With deep gratitude and in solidarity,
A Note From Our Board Chair
Dear Friends, Partners, and Fellow Members of the MCN Network,
What a powerful network we’ve built together—clinicians, advocates, partners, and communities working in deep connection across geographies and experiences. In 2024, our collective efforts broke down barriers to care for migrants and immigrants through culturally relevant, evidence-based, bilingual trainings that respond to real needs on the ground. Here in Puerto Rico, I’ve seen MCN in action—getting resources and knowledge into the hands of vulnerable members of our communities preparing for wildfires, hurricanes, and other climate emergencies.
In this time of profound upheaval, our national network drives hyperlocal change. We’re connecting clinicians and community groups, and engaging those members of our community too often left behind. Together, we’re advancing health justice—building practical, culturally attuned, and locally actionable solutions at the intersection of migration, health, and vulnerability.
Thank you for being part of this movement. You are what keeps our network strong.
Pa’alante/Onward!

Building Practical Solutions
Each day, Migrant Clinicians Network delivers practical, frontline solutions, designed for and with our clinician network, to meet the complex health needs of migrant and immigrant communities.
Here, we spotlight a few of our efforts in 2024.
Supporting Healthy Migrant & Immigrant Communities
Health care is a human right. We at MCN don’t just advocate for health care access– we make it so. Through Health Network, our virtual case management program, at our health fairs with three Ventanilla de Salud offices in Texas, and in dozens of in-person trainings, we help people get the care they need.
Health Network is the only program of its kind that ensures ongoing care for migrants with serious health needs, no matter where they travel, with bilingual, culturally responsive support and a human-centered model.
Through health fairs with the Mexican consulates, our partnership with Ventanilla de Salud brings life-saving health education, screenings, and vaccinations directly to migrants—for free, in their first language, and in a trusted space.

Preparing Workers & Communities
Migrant and immigrant workers face serious health risks—on the job and at home.
With 40+ years of clinical and public health leadership, we bring trusted, bilingual expert strategies straight to communities.
From clinics to fields, we partner with local health centers, coalitions, and community orgs to deliver real-world solutions where they're needed most.

Strengthening Our Network
Mental health and well-being are essential to overall health, shaping how we live, work, and care for ourselves and others. Health care workers witness hardship, heartbreak, and trauma enacted upon their patients. This witnessing leads to moral injury and mental health responses.
In our remarkable time of upheaval, our Witnessing approach provides compassion, connection, and reflection to frontline clinicians.
Now, we’re broadening our mental health efforts, with new programs and initiatives, not just for clinicians, but for the migrants and immigrants they serve.

Responding to Emerging Health Threats
We keep our ear to the ground, listening and responding to our clinical network on the emerging needs of migrant and immigrant workers. In 2024, we provided English and Spanish trainings on avian flu in dairy, mental health in hurricane recovery, extreme heat and wildfire preparation, pesticide poisoning prevention, US immigration policy for clinicians, Long COVID, climate migration, children and deportation, the health consequences of anti-immigrant rhetoric, and much more.
When a new health threat arises, MCN jumps into action with: on-the-ground low-literacy and culturally adapted resources for workers, extensive training for clinicians who serve those workers, and promotion at the state and national level to spotlight workers’ health needs and advocate for stronger policy.
When avian flu was detected at dairy farms in March 2024, MCN rapidly responded.
In 2024, MCN leveraged social media to amplify critical health messages, promote educational opportunities, and engage frontline providers and community partners.
