vs上讨论无证移民和医疗保健4月20日
VALDOSTA — The 护理与健康科学学院 at 美高梅博彩 will present “Clinica de Migrantes” at 7 p.m. on Friday, April 20, in the 学生会 Theater. 所有学生、教职员工、校友、退休人员和布雷泽国家的朋友都可以免费入场。
Directed by Maxim Pozdorovkin for HBO, “Clinica de Migrantes” tells the story of Puentes de Salud, a volunteer-run clinic that provides free medical care to undocumented immigrants in South Philadelphia, shared Paige Krispin, instructor and undergraduate nursing director in vs上’s School of Nursing. The 40-minute documentary follows the clinic’s healthcare staff and patients through months of routine care and growth.
According to an HBO synopsis, the film “goes beyond the politicized rhetoric to show the faces of real people in the middle of the immigration debate, asking if America can continue withholding basic necessities from an estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants. 医疗服务不足的无证移民往往最后被送进急诊室，这是一种昂贵的最后手段，而且可能只需要一片阿司匹林就需要数千美元。 普恩特斯·德·萨卢德和全国各地类似的诊所正在努力解决这个问题，为这些男人、女人和孩子提供护理。
“‘Clinica de Migrantes’ paints a compassionate portrait of patients at Puentes de Salud, many of whom left their families behind to perform physically exhausting labor in America for meager wages, and follows the tireless staffers who treat around 10,000 patients each year with limited space and little funding. 为了满足快速增长的需求，普恩特斯计划建造一个更大的设施，执行主任史蒂夫·拉尔森博士和他的团队必须找到一种方法，让他们的诊所不受各种障碍的影响。
“As it opens a new permanent location, Puentes de Salud is confident it can serve as a beacon of hope in a difficult landscape. Though the United States continues to relegate undocumented immigrants to the margins of society, the country must also confront the fact that this is, in the words of Dr. Larson, ‘the new face of America.’”
晚会将以拉森的简短介绍开始。 放映结束后，他将回答与会者的问题。
克里斯平说，这个活动特别适合移民及其子女、社区领袖和宗教领袖，以及学生和医疗保健、社会学、人类学、社会工作和教育领域的专业人士。
“Clinica de Migrantes,” Krispin explained, puts a face to millions of immigrants who are excluded from societal norms, “displaced from their homelands, separated from their families, unfamiliar with the customs, unable to obtain health insurance, and terrified to come forward to seek medical help.” It “shines a light on the heroic doctors and nurses who work pro bono to ensure these people receive care, offering a deeply moving look at the limitless potential of humanity.”
“Philadelphia is but one area of the United States grappling with the issues of immigration and immigrants, whether documented or undocumented,” she continued. “In South Georgia, there is a large immigrant population with whom we often live and work side by side, without ever giving thought to the problems and barriers they face, especially when it comes to healthcare. Whether we are aware or not, no one is untouched by the issues of immigration in the United States and South Georgia.”
