1. Karen, CEO: American Journal of Nursing recognized the textbook Global Health Nursing: Narratives from the Field in their Book of the Year Awards [2]. Congratulations to MCN’s Candace, Specialist in Women’s Health, who contributed a chapter on US migrant health as global health [3].
2. Juliana, Environmental and Occupational Health Manager, in case you missed it: “Flint is demanding ID and a social security number [4] before you can receive clean water.”
3. Amy, Director of Environmental and Occupational Health, offered this article called “Amputations at Tyson Foods [5].” She emphasized that immigrants are an important source of labor for this industry.
4. Candace: “HHS has some good resources for clinicians and healthcare settings about identifying trafficking victims [6], including a poster that highlights farmworkers. Resources are in several languages.”
5. Alma, Health Network Associate, is following the Zika virus news [7] closely. She is one of three MCNers expecting a baby this year, so she is particularly empathetic with the fears and struggles of pregnant women living in Zika hot zones.
