Migrant Health
The Migrant Health Program’s Regional Migrant Health Coordinator works with Community and Migrant Health Centers in the Southwest region which includes Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, and Nevada to reduce health disparities and improve access to healthcare for the farm workers who work in this region.
The Regional Coordinator is a valuable resource for Migrant and Community Health Centers, community based organizations, and anyone interested in starting, expanding, or improving health programs that serve farmworkers. We work in partnership with and serve as a link between regional Migrant Health Center Programs, the National Farmworker Health Network organizations, and The Bureau of Primary Health Care/Office of Special Populations Health.

Do you work at a Migrant Health Center or work in a profession that serves migrant or seasonal farmworkers? If so, plan on attending the Arizona Interagency Farmworkers Coalition annual educational conference in lovely Prescott, Arizona May 15-17, 2012.
"Preserving Our Past, While Defining Our Future", a conference where those that provide services to, and work with farmworkers can learn about the variety of resources available and network with each other. Presenters in the areas of Labor, Health, Education and others will provide information to attendees such as parent liaisons from the Department of Education, promotoras and other staff from Migrant Health Centers, representatives from the Department of Economic Security, farmers and growers, contractors, and others interested in the well-being of farmworkers. This is a unique conference and one of the few, if not the only, where attendees from such a wide variety of disciplines can gather together and learn from each other.
