At CommunityHealth, which serves a large immigration population, prescriptions have been left on shelves since President Donald Trump took office.
Nurse practitioner Margaret Bavis isn’t used to her “rock-solid” patients not showing up at CommunityHealth, a free medical center in Chicago that mostly treats Spanish- and Polish-speaking patients.
But about two weeks ago, when Republican President Donald Trump was sworn into office amid a promise to deport millions of people in the U.S. without legal status, some of Bavis’ regulars started skipping their appointments.
