POLICY STATEMENT

Providing Care For Immigrant, Homeless, and Migrant Children

Committee on Community Health Services

This policy statement, which replaces the retired statements "Health Care for Children of Immigrant Families" (1997) and "Health Needs of Homeless Children and Families" (1996), is a broader discussion and addresses not only immigrant but also homeless and migrant child populations. It provides pediatricians with the necessary framework for addressing underserved children: those who face substantial barriers that limit access to appropriate health care services. This statement supports a community-based approach to health care delivery to ensure that underserved children have a medical home.

Key Words: immigrant • migrant • homeless children • underserved communities

Abbreviations: SCHIP, State Children’s Health Insurance Program • AAP, American Academy of Pediatrics
