“We
turned to the Call for Health (CFH) program for assistance
in obtaining medications for a 5 year old patient suffering
from epileptic seizures. Within 48 hours of our call,
the boy had the medications he had earlier been waiting
for over a month to receive. On behalf of one of our
youngest and most vulnerable patients, I wish to express
my most sincere and deepest gratitude for your immediate
attention to his health care needs.” Health Center

“The History of America’s Farmworkers is the
tale of an entire class of
laborers who have been repeatedly denied access
to our nation’s promise that hard work will be justly rewarded.” With
These Hands by Daniel Rothenberg
America’s Farmworkers: There are approximately
3-5 million migrant and seasonal farmworkers in the United
States. They are the backbone of the American agricultural
industry and their work impacts almost every state in the
nation. However, almost three quarters of this work force
earn less than $10,000 annually and their health status is
at the same standard of most Third World Nations.Over 85%
of the fruits and vegetables produced in this country are
hand harvested and/or cultivated by farmworkers.The faces
of farmworkers include men, women, children and the elderly.
Call for Health Program:
