“Salud Sin Fronteras” is an oral history project centered on the healthcare experiences of undocumented Mexican immigrants in Florida, a state entrenched in anti-immigration policies. The project aims to provide an intimate and localized perspective on the intersection of immigration and healthcare.

Through in-depth interviews, the stories of five undocumented Mexican immigrants who have collectively lived in Florida for over 20 years are captured. These individuals have witnessed firsthand the dynamic shifts in policies, the accessibility of healthcare resources, and the structural frameworks of healthcare systems. Their narratives are invaluable in understanding the disparities faced by immigrants compared to their experiences in their home country.

Various aspects of their healthcare journeys are delved into, including experiences during hospital and clinic visits, the areas they hope to see change, and the impact of their undocumented status on their treatment and well-being.
