Abstract | Kadiatu Hodges shares her perspective on immigrant access to health care in the United States and the political and social barriers that lead to health consequences of Latino immigrants. Having lived in several different nations of the world, including parts of West Africa and Mexico, she has experienced a range of healthcare systems and can compare them to the system in the United States. Hodges’ own experience studying abroad in Jalisco, Mexico during college influenced her to become the manager of the Farmworker Health Program (FHP) for three years. There she did education and outreach programs, provided care in a clinic, and worked closely with many migrant farmworkers. Now a public health nurse with Wake County, Hodges shares several stories of patients who have struggled with the healthcare system and provides analysis of the many cultural barriers that often prevent Latino immigrants from accessing health treatment. |
