Health
Access to healthcare is a critical need for everyone, but for immigrants and individuals in mixed-status families, navigating the healthcare system can be particularly challenging. Health resources included in this guide aim to connect the undocumented community with affordable or free medical services, clinics, and programs that do not require lawful status for care. These resources are vital because they ensure that individuals and families can receive preventive care, treatment for chronic conditions, and emergency services without fear of deportation or financial burden. Ensuring good health is essential for maintaining overall well-being and quality of life, making it a priority for our community.
