So immigrants could become citizens of the U.S.A!!!! THEY HAD TO GET CHECK-UPS. IF THEY WERE ALRIGHT, THEY GO TO New York City. IF THY WERE SICK, THEY HAD TO STAY AT ELLIS ISLAND UNTIL THEY ARE BETTER. THEY WILL GET CHECK-UPS IF THEY FINE, THAT IS GOOD. IF THEY DIDN'T HAVE CHECK-UPS, SOME PEOPLE COULD HAVE DIED BECAUSE OF SOME PEOPLE'S DISEASE.

Since Ellis Island was a small community the people who worked there were everything from cleaning staff to doctors/nurses. People who worked for the federal government as secretaries and immigration officers would also work there. The new arrivals had to be processed so anyone that was involved in that would be found at Ellis Island.
