Which detail from "The Workers of Ellis Island" shows that Ellis Island was a processing center sensitive to the needs of immigrants? Given the enormous amount of paperwork that needed to be done at Ellis Island, it comes as no surprise that dozens and dozens of clerks and stenographers were employed there. The role of the doctors on Ellis Island was confined to the medical examination, diagnosis, and treatment of the immigrants. Besides conducting the line inspection, doctors played no role in deciding the fitness of a person to enter the country. Throughout the years, numerous organizations offered aid to immigrants at Ellis Island. Many of these immigrant aid societies maintained permanent representatives on Ellis Island.
