A. Summary
About MCN

Migrant Clinicians Network (MCN), founded in 1984, is a national non-profit organization pushing back against health inequities and structural racism to help migrants and asylum seekers, immigrants, and other historically marginalized communities gain access to quality care when they need it. Our mission is to create practical solutions at the intersection of vulnerability, migration, and health. We envision a world based on health justice and equity, where migration is never an impediment to well-being.

People across the US are marginalized by our health care system because of language barriers, poverty, legal status, rural locations, and migration. Health inequities and structural racism impact the ability of migrants and immigrants to access care when they are migrating, and when they first arrive at their new communities. Climate change and other emerging or rapidly changing forces may interrupt care or prompt health emergencies. Clinicians who serve these marginalized communities struggle to reach them, and lack the strategies, resources, and technical assistance to effectively remove barriers to ensure culturally relevant, linguistically appropriate, high-quality care is accessible.

Migrant Clinicians Network is transforming the health system to remove those barriers, connecting migrants, immigrants, asylum seekers, and other marginalized communities with care, and bolstering the clinicians who serve them. MCN develops practical solutions to the biggest challenges in migrant and immigrant health, supporting both clinicians and migrants directly.

MCN is headquartered in Austin, Texas with supporting offices in California, Maryland, and Puerto Rico, with a majority of staff working at remote locations around the US. MCN has been awarded the Platinum Seal of Transparency, the highest level of recognition, from GuideStar/Candid, is a Top-Rated NonProfit according to GreatNonProfits, and has a fourout-of-four star rating from Charity Navigator.
