Immigrants

Alexis Dutt works for Karam Law in Bloomington, MN, just outside Minneapolis.

John Ndahiriwe was a refugee from the Democratic Republic of the Congo who immigrated to the Ozarks. He and his family escaped a dire situation to make a new home in the United States.

McDonald County, Missouri, is home to many immigrant groups that have moved into the county in the last twenty years. These groups include Hispanic, Somali, Burmese, Sudanese and numerous others. And while these groups do not overlap culturally, they do share one thing - language acts as a barrier to access when it comes to their health.
