What a U.S. Health Care Provider Should Expect: |
A U.S. Health Care provider should expect for those of Scandinavian descent to potentially have heat issues. With that in mind, test should be done to insure the health of the patient. In addition, being family oriented, loved ones should be around when important news is being given. Scandinavian people also may expect specialist care within 90 days so they should me made aware of when the care is able to be provided. Also when pregnant, women should be notified that midwives are not the ones to call when giving birth and should seek attention from a doctor when giving birth. Pricing for all medical fees should be talked about immediately as well as it may be different from what they are used to.

In the 1850's, Norways population increased by 50 percent. Unfortunately, Norwegian geography offered little to no land for farming, thus leaving a lot of people with no food and no job. Like the Swedes, The homestead Act of 1862 caught the eye of many Norwegians. Many believed that America would provide them with a better a life. A major reason for early Norwegian immigration to the U.S. was religious persecution. The traditional Lutheran church did not approve of two groups called, The Quakers and Haugeans. The first Norway religious immigration took place in the early 19nth century. Norwegian immigration peaked when over 600,000 Norwegians immigrated to the U.S. from 1866 to 1914. Most of these people were young men looking for better pay (Scandinavian Immigration 2). When settling in America most Norwegians favored Minnesota, Wisconsin, and North Dakota (Scandinavian Immigration 1) .
