Gateways and Dialogue III: Health and Medicine

This was a live event recorded 8/21/2024
Join Angel Island Immigration Station Foundation and the Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation to compare the hospital experiences of immigrants at these two historic sites.
What kind of medical examinations did immigrants undergo? What were the hospitals like? What health conditions did the Public Health Service screen for and treat?
Future events in the series will potentially cover topics brought up in the Q+A. A special thanks to Stephen, our collaborator from the Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation!
