The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) is committed to increasing access of Migratory and Seasonal Agricultural Workers (MSAWs) and their families to quality health care and improving health outcomes. Health centers work to achieve this goal by providing high-quality care to agricultural worker families across the country. The Farmworker Health Network works cooperatively with HRSA to provide training and technical assistance to over 1,100 health centers throughout the U.S.
The Farmworker Health Network (FHN) is comprised of six National Cooperative Agreements in agricultural worker health funded through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to provide training and technical assistance to current and potential health centers. These organizations include Health Outreach Partners, National Association of Community Health Centers, Farmworker Justice, Migrant Clinicians Network, MHP Salud, and the National Center for Farmworker Health. Each organization specializes in areas of focus such as clinical support, outreach services, policy analysis and program development. The FHN meet regularly and collaborate to develop resources that share promising practices and tools for health centers and other agricultural worker serving organizations that provide services to the this population.
