Migrant Health Coordinators

HRSA funds eight Regional Migrant Health Coordinator positions to provide technical assistance to Migrant Health program grantees to strengthen and ensure the quality of health services delivered to farmworkers. The Coordinators bring a unique understanding of their respective region's needs, trends, service gaps, and other challenges, and access to an array of resources and technical assistance with which to meet them.The Regional Coordinators are housed in the states of Arizona, California, Florida, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Texas, and Washington. The Coordinators currently provide technical assistance services to grantees in 33 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 Farmworker Health Network (FHN), other national farmworker organizations, and with HRSA's Office of Minority and Special Populations.
