Sanctuary Doctor

Treating Fear: Sanctuary Doctoring‌‌‌‌‌‌‌

 

This web page contains presentation materials, patient flyers‌ and lapel pins (linked in the TOOLKIT) developed by Johana Mejias-Beck, MD, Mark Kuczewski, PhD, Amy Blair, MD and Maria De Los Angeles Almaraz Villanueva.  

These materials are designed to be simple and useful in helping physicians and health-care professionals to meet the needs of their patients who may be undocumented or suffering stresses related to close family or community members being undocumented.  While there are many toolkits being developed, we hope that these materials might be very easy to use and enable the physician or other health-care professional to address the most immediate needs of such patients.
