"The authors are to be commAnded for an outstanding review of the health issues of the newest members of our country. Increasingly we are reminded that human rights are women's rights. No country is exempt from this principle; infringement includes the prizes of war, bride burning, unnecessary surgery, sexual assault (domestic violence), and lack of access to health care." (Jean Fourcroy, past president, American Medical Women's Association; adjunct professor, urology, Uniformed Services University of Health Science, Bethesda, MD)

"This is a significant and timely book. The chapters are rich in describing clinical considerations for and approaches to the immigrant patient in a broad range of disease areas. I recommAnd this book to all administrators and clinicians who serve or plan to serve the growing immigrant populations in the United States. Particularly noteworthy is the book's emphasis on women's health issues and the acknowledgment of the key roles women play in accessing health care for their families." (Henry Chung, medical director, Chinatown Health Clinic, New York)

"The time has come . . . to address the inequities in the delivery of health care to all who reside in the United States.

It comes to the marketplace not a moment too soon!" (Lillian Pardo Gonzalez, professor of pediatrics and neurology, University of Kansas School of Medicine)

"This book offers a comprehensive overview that can help clinicians, health care leaders, and educators prepare for requisite changes in health care delivery.
