Readiness for Migrant Worker Health Programs in North Carolina
North Carolina's agricultural sector is heavily reliant on migrant workers, who often face significant barriers to accessing healthcare services. The state's migrant population, estimated at over 100,000, encounters profound challenges such as language barriers, low socioeconomic status, and lack of knowledge regarding health rights. These barriers result in poorer health outcomes and limited access to preventative care. This funding aims to enhance healthcare outreach for these vital workers.
