While the country’s major election dominated the headlines, other stories on the health needs of vulnerable populations slipped between the cracks. Here are a few articles that MCN staff shared this week.
- Jillian, Director of Professional Development and Education, sent along the announcement that a 23-page primer on TB [2], recently published in the journal Nature Reviews Disease Primers can be downloaded for free for the next month.
- Claire, Writer and Editor, shared the pre-election New York Times article that shared some touching personal stories: “Undocumented Migrants, Free Now to Visit Mexico, Face Iffy Future [3].”
- Ricardo, Health Network Manager, responded to Claire’s article with two more personal stories, from from radio station WNYC: “Growing Up Without Parents, Life After Deportation” and “Political Climate Makes Radio Rookie's Legal Status Uncertain [4].”
- Jessica, Grant Writer, showed us Open Society Foundations’ Instagram feed, which features photos taken by Markel Redondo of the causes and consequences of migration in Mexico [5]. It starts on the right side of the feed; click a picture to read the story.
- Candace, Specialist in Women’s Health, says, “Click on this link [6] for a graphic that shows how dire the clinical staffing needs are at health centers..2 million more patients could be served if those vacancies were filled!”
Have a safe and healthy weekend.
