YOU HAVE RIGHTS

Access to healthcare is a fundamental human right – regardless of immigration status. Ongoing immigration enforcement activities and policy shifts have contributed to heightened fear and uncertainty within immigrant communities, leading some to avoid seeking healthcare and other essential services. Despite these challenges, community health centers and clinics remain vital pillars of support, continuing to advocate for and protect the healthcare rights of all patients. The following tools and resources are offered to help health centers create a safe and welcoming environment for both patients and staff.
