AbstractImmigrants enrich the United States through economic contributions and unique perspectives. Immigrants find themselves navigating a new culture, a complicated health care system, unfamiliar social programs, and an ever-changing policy environment. They may be discouraged by unmet expectations of life in the United States, changing family dynamics, and discrimination. Screening for the social determinants of health is crucial, as not all patients will proactively seek the advice of their health care provider for these issues. Health care providers can assist and empower immigrants to navigate these challenges, as well as serve as advocates on a broader scale.Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
