Today and through the weekend, the Migrant Clinicians Network team gathers in Austin for a strategic planning weekend. While we’re knee-deep in Powerpoints and logic modeling, we hope you can find some time to explore some resources that we shared between ourselves this week:
Alma shared, “Sexually transmitted diseases on the rise in US, according to CDC data. [2]”
Jillian says, “This story about survivors relocating after the fires [3] in our area just illustrates the case made by MCN’s op-ed about climate migrants [4].”
Laszlo shared a piece about the record number of deportations of Cambodian refugees [5], many of whom were raised in the US. The story hits home for Laszlo: “One of my sisters-in-law is a Cambodian refugee who came here also as a very young girl. [She’s an] honest, hard-working, warm-hearted addition to American society.”
Karen: “This is a good article about a new human trafficking screening tool [6] developed by a nurse practitioner student.”
Marysel forwarded on an article detailing the new water rationing requirements in Puerto Rico [7] as its residents grapple with the beginnings of what may be a serious drought. (En Español.)
Have a safe and healthy weekend.
