Present System of Delivering Health Care to the Migrant Child, March 25, 1980

Author: American Academy of Pediatrics
Date Published: 1980


Study done by the American Academy of Pediatrics which discusses health care delivery systems in several sections of the United States. Comparisons are made of these diverse systems and the populations they served. In the context of other population-specific health delivery systems, it is apparent that health services to the migrant child family are, in many instances non-existent. In areas where health services are available, they are fragmented, episodic, and limited in scope--which results in less than optimal care. This fragmentation exists in the home base states as well as in states along the migratory route. This report explores those issues.
