Abstract

At a time of evolving demographics and turbulent policy changes, pediatric providers have a critical role in the care of all children, regardless of where the child or parent was born. Pediatric providers can facilitate access to high-quality care and critical community-based resources for immigrant children and families. In this article, we delineate the primary domains for clinical care and offer clinical tools to achieve the provision of accessible, comprehensive, high-quality care within a family-centered medical home. © 2019 Elsevier Inc.
