Overview

International migration of people has accelerated in recent years, and societies continue to debate how to approach these constantly changing realities. Migrants face staggering obstacles throughout their journeys, many of which are related to health; immigrants and refugees in the United States face enormous barriers to accessing care.

Immigrant adults are less likely to have access to healthcare and other services, affecting them as well as their families. Immigrant and refugee children face unique challenges in receiving immunizations, attending school and obtaining timely access to medical care. Children in immigrant families now make up over 25 percent of the total under-18 population of the United States1. In order to provide quality care for children in this group, caregivers must understand their unique challenges.

The 2017 CHOP Global Health Conference will explore the state of immigrant and refugee health from a global, national and local perspective. Attendees will gain clinical, advocacy, public health and research tools to better serve these populations. Cases, discussions and stories will help us better understand the context of those who leave their homes seeking a better life and how we as healthcare professionals can optimally support them.
