Welcome
Colleagues, Health Center Leaders, and Friends of America’s Agricultural Workers
In 1962, President John F. Kennedy signed the Migrant Health Act – a defining moment for our
country, affirming the delivery of primary and supplemental health services to our vital migratory
and seasonal farmworker families. Sixty years later, we gather to commemorate this important
milestone and reunite for the 2022 Conference for Agricultural Worker Health “Celebrating 60
Years of Farmworker Health: Supporting Continued Resiliency for the Future.” Each year, the National
Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) and its partners host this national conference
to exchange ideas and solutions to equitable health care delivery and outcomes, acknowledge the
achievements and contributions of our founders and trailblazers, and lift up a new generation of
leaders to carry this movement well into the future.
Community and Migrant Heath Centers serve over one million migratory and seasonal agricultural
workers and their families, representing almost thirty percent of the estimated number of
farmworkers who reside in the United States. And yet, we recognize that much remains to be done
to ensure agricultural worker families have access to quality health care and supportive services.
This is why in 2015, we launched the Ag Worker Access Campaign, a partnership of advocates at all
levels - national, state, and local - to develop more effective outreach efforts, identify new models
and strategies for health care delivery, and provide training and technical assistance to those
providing services to agricultural worker families, with the ultimate goal of reaching over two
million. When we launched this campaign, we knew it would take time, that it would not be easy,
and that we could not do it alone. That is why our partners and the agricultural worker families are
key to this effort. We must do better, and we must do more, to achieve our goal.
Thank you for joining us in the beautiful Mile High City of Denver, Colorado — a city rich in
history, culture, and diversity — and the perfect location for us to celebrate the 60th Anniversary.
During our conference, you can take advantage of educational and informative sessions, hear
distinguished speakers reflect upon the rich history and growth of the Migrant Health Program,
and enjoy connecting with your colleagues to learn about effective strategies, tools, and models
that have proven to better serve our country’s agricultural workers and their families. As we
celebrate this time together, let’s also remember to look ahead and help prepare the future
generations of migrant health center leaders.
The landscape of health care delivery is ever-changing, as are our communities and the resources
needed to reach a just and equitable system. Agricultural worker families represent the heart
and breath of many marginalized communities, and it is our hope that this year’s conference will
reinforce the relationships, dedication, and spirit necessary to carry us into our next sixty years of
the Migrant Health Movement.
Con aprecio/With gratitude,
Rachel A. Gonzales-Hanson, Interim CEO
National Association of Community Health Centers

Throughout the 2022 NACHC Conference for Agricultural Worker Health, a curated music playlist will be playing during sessions and
breaks in celebration of 60 years of the Migrant Health Program and the rich history of migratory and seasonal agricultural work in
the United States.
The below information serves as the liner notes for the playlist. Liner notes are the writing found on the sleeves of record albums
and in booklets, historically inserted into cassette or compact disc (CD) cases, to provide further commentary or explanatory notes
about the musical recordings contained within.
The selections below are meant to be representative of the demographics of United States farmworkers, based on findings from the
National Agricultural Workers Survey (NAWS) 2017–2018: A Demographic and Employment Profile of United States Farmworkers Research
Report No. 14.
This playlist is not fully representative of the range of musical expression in the farmworkers’ country of origin. That would be
monumental and there are a lot of musical genres that are not fully represented or represented at all. Some traditional icons of
regional music are not included in favor of new spins on tradition. We have included a handful of songs that have been part of
United Farm Worker rallies, including a version of “Freedom Road” by The Blind Boys of Alabama, for example, and the rest of the
playlist assembles songs based on country of origin and ethnicity.
We know that the selections cannot do full justice to the cultural diversity of our farmworker communities but attempts to be as
representative as possible — for example, we have chosen Joy Harjo (Muskogee) and Xavier Quijas Yxayotl (Aztec) to point to the
work of Indigenous peoples, R.L Burnside to gesture to the rich delta blues tradition, and so on.
Ultimately, we have chosen music that is vibrant, alive, full of energy and nerve. We have made the playlist living and collaborative,
welcoming you to add your favorites or consider compiling your own inspiring playlist.

Introduction
Mary Zelazny, MBA, Chief Executive Officer, Finger Lakes Health Center; Chair, Conference for Agricultural
Worker Health Planning Committee; and Chair, Committee for Agricultural Worker Health
Papi, Me, and César Chávez tells the story of “Gloria,” a farmworker’s daughter, as she and her father march
with César Chávez during the Farmworker Movement of the 1960s.
Born from the Chicano Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s and 70s, Su Teatro (“Your Theater”) began in
1972 as a student-organized theater group at the University of Colorado at Denver. Throughout the 70s,
Su Teatro performed politically charged agitprop plays and skits to support social activism and bolster
civil rights causes. The 1980s saw a shift in its artistic output when the group began to develop full-length
plays focused on demystifying the Chicano identity and celebrating the experiences, history, language, and
cultural heritage of Chicanos, Mexicanos, and Latinos throughout the Americas.
In 1989, Su Teatro, which up until that time had been a roving theater troupe, purchased the old Elyria
School in Northeast Denver. Having a home allowed the organization to expand its programming to include
annual arts festivals and an arts education program in addition to a full theater season. In 2010, Su Teatro
expanded again, with the purchase and renovation of the Denver Civic Theatre, centrally located in Denver’s
Santa Fe Arts District. That move was part of Su Teatro’s plan to become a regional Latino cultural arts
center—the only one of its kind in the area.

AMA1 The Migratory and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Perspective on Colorado Ballroom
Health Center Boards: Good Practices in Recruiting, Retaining,
Engaging, and Training Board Members
Since the start of the Health Center Movement in the 1960s, the patient-majority, community-based
board model has been at the heart of the Health Center Program. This session will provide an overview
of this model and discuss the implications for health centers serving migratory and seasonal agricultural
workers and their families. Topics will include discussion of Health Resources and Services Administration
(HRSA) requirements for special population representation on the board, as well as strategies for recruiting,
retaining, and engaging board representation from or for the migratory and seasonal agricultural worker
perspective on boards. This session will also include discussion about approaches for ongoing board
training and development, and will feature resources boards can use to support the strategies and
approaches addressed.
Upon completion of this session, participants will be able to:
§§ Describe the importance of the consumer-majority, community-based board model for health centers
and the significance of special population representation in health center governance.
§§ Consider strategies for recruiting, retaining, and engaging the migratory and seasonal agricultural worker
perspective on health center boards, as well as strategies for ongoing board training and development.
§§ Outline various resources to support boards and board members.
NTTAP Featured highlights the 21 National Training and Technical Assistance Partners (NTTAPs), funded by HRSA’s Bureau of Primary Health Care, that provide
free training and technical assistance (T/TA). NTTAPs support existing and potential health center grantees and look-alikes. (NTTAP Featured sessions scheduled

I first heard about the National Center for Farmworker Health (NCFH) when I was in the field of public health, working with teenagers and
using theater as a means of discussing health issues. One of my favorite projects at that time was with a local farmworker community. I then
earned my teaching certificate and taught art and English Language Learners (ELL) at the high school level. Next, I shifted to my favorite
project of all: raising my twin sons.
All through my life, I’ve loved to paint. I’ve continued to find ways to indulge this passion - whether it be a quick study from life or a larger
mural project. Now that my sons are in college, for the first time in my life I am able to paint full time. I’ve had the fortune of being able to
study with masters such as Susan Lyon and Michelle Dunaway. I am particularly interested in artwork that addresses social issues, and I’m
thrilled to be able to support the wonderful work that NCFH does.

AMA2 Financial Savvy Matters: Essential Concepts for Migrant Health Colorado Ballroom
Center Board Financial Oversight
The responsibility for a health center’s fiscal well-being can be an intimidating challenge for health
center board members and is even more challenging given the pandemic. While it is tempting to leave
fiscal matters to the “experts” who serve on the finance committee, board members must have a basic
understanding of financial oversight.
This session will introduce foundational concepts, critical terminology, and guidance in recognizing red
flags. It will also identify some financial oversight issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic. This session
is designed to help board members gain fiscal confidence and provide the oversight that is essential to
assuring access to quality care and the long-term financial health of the health center. Presenters will also
identify financial oversight resources, available via the National Center for Farmworker Health and NACHC,
to support board member education.
Upon completion of this session, participants will be able to:
§§ Understand the board’s responsibility in adoption of an annual budget and adjusting projections as
changes occur throughout the year.
§§ Review board financial reports to monitor them for potential problems and opportunities.

ATuA1 The Role of Occupation Data to Support Farmworker Health and Colorado Ballroom
the Identification of Migratory and Seasonal Agricultural
Worker Patients
The systemic issues faced by farmworkers are largely tied to their occupation. As farmworkers, they face
unique hazards that impact their health and well-being. They are also afforded fewer regulatory protections
than other workers. From COVID-19 prevalence to pesticide exposure rates, the lack of occupation data
results in undercounts when assessing the health of the US farmworker community. Properly classifying and
reporting migratory and seasonal agricultural workers (MSAWs) in the Uniform Data System (UDS) is critical
to the funding health centers receive, proper diagnosis of patients, and the health policies that impact
farmworkers and their families. Migrant health centers play an important role in the collection and reporting
of occupation data of their patients.
During this session, we will address the importance of occupation data collection and tools to support
health center staff in the identification and classification of MSAWs. Presenters will provide an overview
of agricultural exceptionalism, discuss the role of occupation data in farmworker health policy, share the
importance of collecting accurate occupation data of patients across the health center team, and provide a
framework for MSAW verification. Additionally, participants will learn about the Ag Worker Access Campaign,
a national initiative to increase access to quality health care for MSAW families, and the roles of consumer
board members and leadership staff in keeping MSAWs and Migrant Health in the forefront of health center
priorities.
Upon completion of this session, participants will be able to:
§§ Understand the role of occupation and collection of occupation data in farmworker health policy.
§§ Identify the foundational pillars needed to establish the infrastructure for properly identifying, classifying,
and reporting special populations to the UDS, particularly MSAWs.
§§ Understand the connection between proper MSAW identification, classification, and reporting; health
center funding; and farmworker health.

provide an overview of mobile health programs, present the business case for starting or expanding a
program, and discuss innovations and goals for the future state of mobile programs. NACHC staff will also
share details about a new funding opportunity for health centers that could help support and/or advance
their mobile units.
Upon completion of this session, participants will be able to:
§§ Identify recent and historical trends and the current state of mobile health programs to advocate for their
use in care for hard-to-reach populations.

ATuA2 Raising the Bar to Achieve Optimal Health and Well-Being for Colorado Ballroom
Migratory and Seasonal Agricultural Workers
Raising the Bar: Health Care’s Transforming Role is a national initiative, funded by the Robert Wood Johnson
Foundation and led by NASDOH, to develop principles and action steps for the health care sector to achieve
optimal health and well-being for all the people and communities it serves. Informed by NACHC and other
national leaders, these principles and action steps aspire to better equip the health care sector to address
the myriad of social factors and systemic inequities affecting health and well-being, both inside and outside
the clinical setting.
This session will introduce the Health Center Movement to Raising the Bar and its vision for the health
care sector and explore how health centers embody this vision already and can use this initiative to propel
their organizations’ equity goals forward, particularly with respect to supporting diverse and community-
rooted members of their workforce and reaching special populations like migrant and seasonal agricultural
workers. Hear from the Northwest Regional Primary Care Association and its health center partners about
how community health workers (CHWs) have, and continue to, raise the bar in connecting with and
providing exceptional care to migrant and seasonal agricultural workers.
Upon completion of this session, participants will be able to:
§§ Learn more about the national initiative, Raising the Bar: Health Care’s Transforming Role, and how its
principles and action steps connect to NACHC’s vision for the Health Center Movement of the future.
§§ Discuss how Raising the Bar principles and action steps underscore the value of and need for greater
investment in a diverse and community-rooted health workforce, including CHWs.
§§ Describe the key role health center CHWs play in advancing health equity for migrant and seasonal
agricultural workers.

strategies used to design sustainable health education and vaccination programs through partnerships,
like the Grower-Shipper Association and Clinica de Salud del Valle de Salinas, that provided nearly 47,000
MSAWs with COVID-19 vaccinations.
Upon completion of this session, participants will be able to:
§§ Identify strategies to engage migrant farmworkers in health education and vaccination programs.
§§ Discuss successful health education strategies to overcome COVID-19 testing and vaccination
misinformation.

ATuA3 PRAPARE for Value-Based Care Colorado Ballroom
Screening for and addressing social drivers of health (SDOH) are widely recognized as essential for delivering
whole-person care, improving health equity, and lowering costs of care. As the health care industry strives
to provide excellent person-centered care, high-quality clinical care is not enough. It is imperative to also
address non-medical factors that influence health. Research shows that SDOH accounts for up to 80 percent
of health outcomes. Health centers are at the forefront of providing comprehensive, person-centered health
care that addresses clinical care, social needs, and health disparities of their patient population.
This session will discuss how using PRAPARE, a national standardized patient-risk assessment tool designed
to engage patients in assessing SDOH with value-based care models, is key to addressing SDOH and
unmet social needs and promoting health equity. Health center leaders will share operational and clinical
perspectives on using PRAPARE for value-based care, so that attendees may engage in small-group
discussion on implementing strategies for this care model.
Upon completion of this session, participants will be able to:
§§ Understand the importance of tracking SDOH needs using standardized screening tools such as PRAPARE.
§§ Understand how value-based models are key to addressing SDOH and unmet social needs and promoting
health equity.
§§ Discuss the experiences of organizations using PRAPARE to improve the delivery of care for Medicaid
patients through enhanced data collection.

Academies of Sciences Engineering Medicine (NASEM) report on the future of implementing high-quality
primary care reinforces training in the communities where you need individuals to serve. There are a variety
of pathways to provide opportunities to accomplish this goal. This session will provide an assortment of
program descriptions that are addressing future care team needs and partnerships that have facilitated the
development of these programs.
Upon completion of this session, participants will be able to:
§§ Understand the importance of starting early in developing the care teams of the future.
§§ Identify new resources to assist in health center workforce career development.
§§ Identify the important roles economic justice and career advancement play in sustainability.
