Migrant Voucher
Hudson
River Community Health's new Migrant Health Voucher program is an innovative
response to the needs of the agricultural workers in New York State's
Southern Agricultural Region. Due to the geographically dispersed locations
of the farms in Suffolk and Sullivan Counties, HRHCare developed a "virtual"
health center in each county to provide the highest quality and most conveniently
located health care options. Rather than build "bricks and mortar"
health centers that would be too far for most agricultural workers to
access from their homes, HRHCare has developed a network of local medical
providers with whom we contract. In order for the agricultural workers
to access the providers' offices, HRHCare has put into place all the wraparound
services that make our other migrant health centers so accessible, including
outreach and transportation services, medical interpretation, case managements,
and health education. The Migrant Voucher Program's services include primary
care, primary dental care, radiology, laboratory services, prescription
drug coverage, and mental health services.
Please explore our web site, and feel free to contact us if you have
any questions about our program.
Our mission: to increase access to comprehensive primary and preventative
health care and to improve the health status of our community especially
for the underserved and vulnerable.
<<Need to determine how this microsite will be handled.
Will it be imbedded into the main HRHC site? Will it be treated as its
own site?>>
