Caring for Elder Refugees
Evaluating and caring for refugees includes multiple considerations beyond the usual scope of screening and care. Join us for this presentation to learn from a clinical project between a community organization and a home healthcare agency that explored the health needs of refugees, both older adults and their families.
Our speaker, Sarah Miner PhD, RN, is a community and home health nurse and a post doctoral fellow at the NYU Rory Meyers College of Nursing in New York City. Dr. Miner has worked to improve the care of immigrants and refugees in the US, and she has also worked abroad on NIH funded research in Santiago, Chile and for Amnesty International. Her current clinical practice has focused on the delivery of home health to transcultural and multilingual populations and her goals are to use policy and research to make home health delivery more effective in reducing and eliminating disparities and improving health outcomes for ethnically diverse and vulnerable adult populations. She was the recipient of the 2015 Transcultural Society Nursing Research Award and selected to be a 2015-2016 Jonas Policy Scholar for the American Academy of Nursing. She has presented her work at several national and international conferences, and has a number of publications in national and international peer reviewed journals.
