REGIONAL MIGRANT HEALTH COORDINATORS
To assist Migrant Health program grantees to strengthen and
ensure the quality of health services delivered to farmworkers,
through the provision of technical assistance, HRSA funds
six Regional Migrant Health Coordinators’ positions.
The Coordinators bring to the Migrant Health Program a unique
understanding of the needs, trends, service gaps, and other
challenges current in their respective regions, and access
to an array of resources and technical assistance with which
to meet them.
The Regional Coordinators are housed in the east and western
portions of the U.S. in the states of New York, North Carolina,
Florida, Arizona, California, Oregon and Washington state.
The Coordinators currently provide technical assistance services
to grantees in 29 of the 50 states, and Puerto Rico.
The Regional Migrant Health Coordinators are instrumental
to improving coordination of health care programs serving
farmworkers. They also play an important role in linking farmworker
health programs with each other, with state health agencies,
with Central Office Grantees and other national farmworker
organizations, and with HRSA’s Office of Special Populations.
