​Save the Dates!  NCFH will be offering its annual Orientation to Agricultural Worker Health and Agricultural Worker Classification and Verification webinars this fall. Both of these webinars are a great introduction for new health centers staff members and a refresher for more seasoned staff. Both webinars will be 1.5 hours in duration, which will include 1 hour presentation and 30 minutes of Q&A/peer-to-peer exchange of information.

​Orientation to Agricultural Worker Health 
Date:  Thursday, October 29, 2020
Time:  1:30pm-3:00pm Central

​Learn more about this special population that is so essential to our food system, and the Migrant Health Program that provides funds to Community and Migrant Health Centers across the country to care for Agricultural (Ag) workers and their families.
  • Presenters will provide an overview of the Migrant Health Program, as well as information about Ag worker demographics and culture, and the unique challenges and barriers that impact health care access for Migratory and Seasonal Agricultural Workers and their families.
 
Learning Objectives:
  • Understand how a Migrant Health Program functions and is funded in C/MHCs across the country
  • Describe services provided by Migrant Health Program to the Ag worker population
  • Identify agricultural worker demographics, discuss how the demographics and culture of the population impact health care access
  • Identify unique challenges and barriers faced by this population
 Agricultural Worker Classification and Verification 
Date:  Thursday, November 5, 2020
Time: 1:30pm-3:00pm Central
Register here 
In addition to being a required reporting element for health center grantees in their UDS, accurate identification and classification of the Ag worker population is a critical step to success in increasing access to quality health care for this special population. 
  • Presenters will provide an overview of the federal definition of agriculture, including qualifying industries, the classification of Ag workers, and guidance from the UDS manual for accurate reporting. Participants will learn about available tools and resources to assist health center staff in implementing effective processes and procedures for accurate classification and reporting Ag worker status of their patients in UDS.  Participants will also have an opportunity to submit questions prior to the webinar to ensure their most common challenges in the verification process are addressed. 
 
Learning Objectives:
  • Describe the relationship between classification, Uniform Data system reports, and health center funding
  • Identify industries and tasks that meet the definition of agriculture and should be considered when classifying an agricultural worker in a Migrant Health Program
  • Distinguish the different classification types for Ag workers
  • Utilize acquired knowledge to correctly classify and report Agricultural worker patients

History and Creation of the NCFH Logo

9/3/2020

 
Picture
On this 45th anniversary, NCFH would like to acknowledge Luis Guerra for his contribution to the farmworker population.  In 1976 Mr. Guerra created a silkscreen print “Migrant Health” logo for the National Center for Farmworker Health, then known as the National Migrant Referral Project (NMRP). The original “Migrant Health” logo is now in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C. ​
Luis Guillermo Guerra is a painter, sculptor, and storyteller who divides his time between Real de Catorce, a mountain village in San Luis Potosí, and Austin, Texas. He is a recipient of various awards, including the Siqueiros-Pollock Award in the Binational Border Painting Competition of the Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes in Mexico. Guerra’s artwork is also in numerous collections, including the Smithsonian American Art Museum, in Washington, D.C. For two decades, he narrated his Cuentos de la Sierra on NPR’s Latino USA. NCFH is thankful for Mr. Guerra’s contributions.
