This year, Migrant Clinicians Network celebrated its 35th anniversary by profiling the lives of some of our founders and earliest staff members, as well as newer staff members who are making a big impact. It’s a testament to MCN’s efficacy as an organization and the positive and supportive work environment we nurture that so many of our earliest MCN staff are still hard at work, decades later. As we head into 2020, we’ll continue profiling our MCNers and celebrating their work. As we wrap up the year, here’s a look at the lives and careers of these innovators in
health justice:

Amy Liebman, Motivated Champion of Environmental and Worker Health Justice ([link removed]) : Over a decade later, with MCN firmly established, Amy joined to expand MCN’s work on environmental and occupational health.

Saul Delgado: From a Childhood in Cuba, to Health Network Database Specialist ([link removed]) : Health Network is stronger and more nimble in recent years, thanks to the efforts of Saul, who joined MCN over six years ago, making him the senior member of the Health Network team.
What’s next for MCN? The climate crisis, destabilizing inequality, growing migration: MCN is more critical than ever. We continue to innovate much-needed projects, programs, technical assistance, training, and materials to push back on the forces that negatively affect the health and health care access of migrants and other underserved populations.
Please join us to kick off the next 35 years!
