The changing face of the U.S. population has implications for patients and the health workforce that will take care of them. According to the Pew Research Center, the foreign-born population residing in the U.S. reached a record 43.2 million, or 13.4% of the U.S. population according to the American Community Survey, in 2015. Although growth has begun to slow in recent years, the number of immigrants living in the United States is projected to almost double by 2065.
