35 Years of MCN: Profiles of Innovators in Health Justice

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:

Dr. Ed Zuroweste: A Career Serving the Underserved: Ed worked with fellow clinicians to develop the idea of Migrant Clinicians Network in the early 1980s.

Karen Mountain, RN, MCN's Leader and Defender of Health Justice: Ed and his team of clinicians hired Karen as MCN’s first staff person to build the network of clinicians serving migrants from the ground up.

Candace Kugel: A Life Serving Immigrant Women and Children: Ed brought in numerous clinicians into the fold in the early years, including nurse practitioner and midwife, Candace.

Deliana Garcia: Intrepid Champion for Health Justice: Del joined Karen in the early months of MCN to get the nascent nonprofit off the ground and to launch TBNet, the precursor to Health Network.

Amy Liebman, Motivated Champion of Environmental and Worker Health Justice: 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: 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!
