Immigrant communities in the US face unique challenges to their experiencing wellness. This panel looks at
how immigrants' issues in health care, housing, and language learning shape what kind of possibilities for social
well-being they have in St. Cloud, Minnesota and the US today). SCSU faculty and community stakeholders
(from Hands Across the World and CentraCare) will present data from the field that address such issues.
