MIDWEST STREAM FARMWORKER HEALTH FORUM 2014
24th Annual Midwest Stream Farmworker Health Forum
The 24th Annual Midwest Stream Farmworker Health Forum held in San Antonio, TX was a huge success! Thank you to all 203 attendees who traveled from near and far to San Antonio, Texas. You helped make this conference a wonderful event. Forum participants were offered 24 individual 90-minute breakout sessions, 3 exciting and information packed plenary sessions, and three 3-hour intensive sessions, totaling over 50 hours of educational opportunities! More than 50 speakers from across the country presented on a wide array of topics including: the 19 Health Center Program Requirements, the Affordable Care Act, behavioral health, outreach and enrollment, Community Health Worker programs, HIV, pesticide safety, Community Based Participatory Research, personal goal setting and career planning, diabetes, PCMH, and community engagement, among many others.
The 24th Annual Midwest Stream Forum united the agricultural worker health community for 3 energizing days of professional development. With the purpose of providing Building Blocks for Achieving Excellence in Migrant Health, the Forum emphasized the exchange of information on model programs, new resources and tools, and the latest research and trends in agricultural worker health. The multi-track program featured sessions on agricultural worker health-specific clinical, research, outreach/lay health, administration, management, and leadership development topics.
