Abstract

Dr. Gutierrez is part of a small group of El Paso physicians who provide volunteer medical care at the city's 18 shelters for asylum-seekers entering the United States through the Texas border. What started in October 2018 as a local, ad hoc way to address health care needs among the steady stream of immigrants is gradually turning into a statewide - even national - network of volunteer physicians.
