New Minnesota clinic for asylum seekers is first of its kind in state
Listen now
Description
There is a new medical clinic in town focused on a specific — and pressing — issue: evaluations for asylum seekers to support their cases to remain in Minnesota. That means clinicians will work specifically with people in the metro who are going through the process of proving to the United States government that their home country is no longer safe for them to stay. A medical evaluation could make all the difference in those cases. MPR News host Nina Moini spoke with Dr. Nathan Bertelsen about the clinic, which would be the first of its kind in Minnesota. Dr. Bertelsen worked closely with the Center for Victims of Torture to establish the clinic.
