Begun

by NCCHCA in 1988, the East Coast Migrant Stream Forum is an annual

conference that provides health professionals training to facilitate

quality health care delivery to migrant and seasonal farmworkers and

their families living and working on the east coast. Through workshops

and networking opportunities, attendees hear about the latest in

clinical trends, farmworker-specific service delivery models,

cutting-edge research, legislative and funding initiatives, and the

latest farmworker health products and services.

This
