Immigration

Happy Friday! We’re looking forward to a quiet weekend as we round out another very full week here at Migrant Clinicians Network. Here are some resources and updates that we found useful and insightful -- hope you do, too.

The weekend is here! In the Central Valley, MCN’s California Office is anticipating its first serious scorcher, with temperatures predicted to get around 106 Fahrenheit -- or higher. Before we head off to the creek to claim a shady spot, we’d like to offer our weekly rundown of news and insights from the world of migrant health, courtesy of MCN staff members.

There’s a lot to learn from this week’s list of health justice news and notes, recommended by MCN staff. Which article did you like the best? Share it on Facebook and Twitter… and let us know you enjoyed it!

Here are a few articles that caught the interest of MCN’s staff this week. We hope you enjoy them.

1. Candace, Specialist in Clinical Systems & Women’s Health, shared a MedScape article on the new program coming to replace Meaningful Use. 

Yesterday, oral arguments were heard by the Supreme Court on United States v. Texas, in which Texas and 26 other states challenged President Obama’s 2014 executive order known as Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA). 

A mid-spring weekend is just a few hours away; that means it’s time for Five on Friday, our weekly wrap-up of news we shared internally here at MCN, that we thought you may enjoy as well. What did you read that you’d like to share? Let us know on Facebook or Twitter.
