 Historical Note

Migrant farmworkers are people who travel to find seasonal farmwork and live temporarily where they are working. In the United States, migrant farmworkers have faced many occupational hazards, economic disadvantages, and health risks, including a lack of access to medical care and community services. During the 1960s, much of this population was comprised of people who immigrated from Latin America, but also included U.S. citizens and people from different ethnic groups. In 1962, the Migrant Health Act, which amended the Public Health Service Act, was signed into U.S. federal law. It funded medical and other support services for migrant farmworkers and their families, resulting in the Migrant Health Center program. With the help of this funding, the Health Department of Maricopa County, Arizona started the Maricopa County Migrant Family Health Clinic Project. The health clinics provided medical and dental care, health education, and services to improve sanitation and housing conditions.
