Heart Diseaseis the #1 Killer of Americans

You can help change that!

Migrant and immigrant farmworkers face daunting obstacles to good health. Low income levels, occupational and agricultural hazards, and an unfamiliarity with American health care are just some of the difficulties these workers face. Migrant and Immigrant Health in Rural Pennsylvania: Promoting Safe Work Environments - a two-day conference for food producers, advocates, educators, and policy makers who work or interact with migrant and immigrant farmworkers - will provide important information on agricultural and community health and safety issues, and effective programs for migrant and immigrant farmworkers and their families.

This is an excellent opportunity to network and improve your understanding of the issues affecting these vulnerable populations. Make your plans now to attend!
