Immigrant families changing the face of America and delivery of health care services.
15.7 million U.S. children, including more than 1.5 million New York State children, live in immigrant families. These newest arrivals are becoming a critical component of the changing demographics of the state's--and nation's--evolving population. A complex set of economic, social and cultural factors affect these youngsters and their families, which, in turn, can have an impact on the delivery of health services.
