The overarching goal of the Ag Worker Access 2020 Campaign is to reach 2 million Ag workers and their families served in health centers by 2020. While we haven’t yet achieved our ultimate goal, our halfway milestone of 1 million is within reach!! Official UDS numbers released in August showed the number of Agricultural workers and their families served by health centers nationwide increased by 14,722 in 2017, continuing the upward trend in Ag workers served since the 2015 launch of the Ag Worker Access 2020 Campaign! Let's keep the momentum going! What else can you do to become an Increase Access Champion? The following are just a few suggestions....Share your ideas with us!! Sign up to join the Campaign.
