YOU HAVE RIGHTS

Health and safety are basic human rights. Undocumented Californians also have the legal right to use public services to protect all health and safety. In our current political climate, immigrant patients and communities have expressed fears in accessing daily activities for fear of deportation for themselves or a family member. Community health centers (CHCs) continue to serve as active advocates for their patients’ healthcare rights. The following resources can help CHCs create a safe environment for their immigrant patients and staff.
