| Description |
NCFHP improves the health of migrant and seasonal farmworkers by increasing access to primary and preventive health care. Farmworkers are targeted for services because agriculture is one of the most dangerous occupations in the US. In addition, farmworkers often face multiple barriers that impede access to health care, including lack of familiarity of services, language, transportation, clinic hours, and insurance. Through health care fee-for-service and outreach initiatives, the NCFHP assists local and state leaders in improving access, quality, and cost-effectiveness of medical and dental care for underserved NC residents. |
