More about the Migrant Farmworker Program :
Farmworkers perform difficult labor and are in the fields from early morning until late evening, sometimes seven days a week.
Such a schedule does not facilitate access to health care services. There are also language barriers and transportation issues.
Health care clinics are scheduled in locations where farmworkers are working and living, during the hours when workers are available for services.
In these locations, workers receive vital exams such as blood pressure, temperature, height and weight, and blood profiling to check for anemia, cholesterol, and diabetes.
All patients are able to have a complete physical exam.
Take advantage of this unique to opportunity provide healthcare to the migrant farm workers of Iowa!
