Patients: Know your immigration rights

The Trump Administration has changed the rules, no longer designating hospitals, as well as schools and churches, as "sensitive areas," free from immigration enforcement. Nurses make a vow to care for all people, and we know hospitals should remain places of healing, where all people can receive care, without fear. We want to ensure you know your rights.
