The Western Migrant Stream Forum brings together a broad representation of health professionals and others serving migrant and seasonal farmworkers for the purposes of education and training, information and resource sharing, coalition building and policy development. Join us as we learn about current issues, policy, best practices and programs related to the health of this population. Please visit our website — www.nwrpca.org — for additional information.
