Abstract | Susan Clifford discusses her extensive experience with the Latino community through her academic work, professional career, and personal life. Her husband is from Celaya in Guanajuato, Mexico, where scant job opportunities pushed him to seek work in North Carolina. Today, Susan works at the Orange County Health Department as the Immigrant and Refugee Health Program Manager, a profession that stems from her passion in international public health and social justice. She discusses the widespread physical and mental health issues that Latino immigrants experience, as well as the social stressors and inadequate policies that may have largely induced their negative health outcomes. However, Susan also finds light in the situation by pointing out the positive health behaviors and outcomes of the Latino community, as well as well-intentioned immigration policies. |
