Would this be a good topic or the diversity prompt?

My family and I moved to the US when I was 11. Here, I saw how language barriers and cultural barriers affected my parent's ability to access healthcare. Through this, I have been involved in a lot of volunteer work with that groups that primarily serve immigrants, have taken many global health courses. I hope to continue exploring how to provide better access to healthcare for diverse, underserved and immigrant popualtions.

I know the immigrant story is a common topic for diversity statements... so a little hesitant about writing this.

Yes. Living through and observing the social/cultural barriers in US medicine and recognizing the need for appropriate inclusion due to diversity is a good way to address this prompt.
