| Sumario: | Intercultural living--a living that dwells 'in-between' spaces of cultures--how it is conceptualized and what its lived experiences might mean, can give the direction for how we ought to care for one another. Drawing from my research with Vietnamese Canadian women, I argue that many immigrant women live and practice health care in 'in-between' spaces, spaces that belong neither to East nor to West. Thus, supporting immigrant women's health care practices requires the removal of social ideologies that set apart the West and the 'Other.' To provide equal and quality health care, caring should occur within in-between spaces, spaces that belong to both those who provide and those who receive health care services.
