Guest guest Posted March 20, 2001 Report Share Posted March 20, 2001 I am finishing up a senior thesis at town University about the general topic of migrant health care. My thesis has focused on the history of the a Migrant/Community Health Clinic in Wenatchee, Washington (Columbia Valley Community Health). I have discussed the coming of Hispanic agricultural workers to the Pacific Northwest, some general information about migrant health and the barriers they face, and governmental and local efforts to provide health care to the poor population of migrant and seasonal farmworkers in North Central Washington. Themes addressed include immigration, health care, government aid for the poor, and local reactions to an increasing Hispanic presence. Presently, I am writing the thesis conclusion. In it I will mention what the Health Center's experience says about the greater American society. I also want to write some about the future of health care for migrants. For any of you who feel qualified, I would greatly appreciate a short statement about what you see in the future of migrant health (i.e. single-payer government sponsored health care in US, likely changes in government policy and funding, etc.). Thanks for your help. Geoff Sonn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
