  • NWRPCA's 25th Anniversary

The Northwest has a very large migrant and seasonal farmworker population, recently estimated at over 509,000 people in Washington, Oregon and Idaho alone.  This number does not include the growing number of seasonal workers in Alaska in the fishery and cannery industries.

Migrant and seasonal farmworkers and their families confront health challenges stemming from extreme poverty, unfamiliarity of culture and language, frequent mobility and work and living arrangements that impede access to health coverage and care.

Our Migrant Health program strengthens the ability of health centers to deliver culturally competent health care to migrant and seasonal farmworkers by working with state-based partners to expand services, advocating for policy changes and innovative programs that improve services at a regional level and promoting continuity of care through a regional model of health care delivery.
