The Migration Policy Institute (MPI) announces that the Welcome Back Initiative is one of four recipients of its 2011 E Pluribus Unum Prizes for exceptional immigrant integration initiatives. The national award honors the Welcome Back Initiative, which is San Francisco-based and has affiliates in eight states, for its work with foreign-trained health care professionals living in the United States. WBI helps these skilled immigrants to obtain the professional licenses they need to join a U.S. health care sector experiencing worker shortages and increased demands as the nation's population ages.
