Immigrant populations face multiple diverse health care needs that cities,counties,and states need to address.These health care needs pose significant legal and policy issues.For some immigrants,access to health care is limited because of language barriers and lack of benefits,resources,and transportation.Mothers and babies usually are not considered vulnerable populations unless other risk factors are noted.Physical,emotional,and sexual abuse (such as rape),as well as neglect,is a major public health problem affecting older persons,women,and children.When a patient has a severe mental illness such as schizophrenia,multiple health and socioeconomic problems must be recognized.
