[Guest guest]

2006 National Farmworker Health Conference - San ,

Texas May 20-24, 2006

Friends,

You are invited to submit abstracts for the 2006 National Farmworker Health

Conference to be held May 20-24, 2006 in San Texas. Please note the

submission deadline of December 6, 2005.

As the only national conference with a focus on the Migrant Health Programs and

the farmworkers they serve, it is an opportunity for national advocates,

clinicians, service providers, researchers, and public officials to share and

learn from those that provide health services for the farmworkers that harvest

our nation's food.

You will also hear from Federal and State officials, national migrant advocates

and migrant health experts on current initiatives and strategies for meeting the

health needs of farmworkers and their families.

The attached call for abstracts should be submitted electronically to NACHC.

If you want to discuss a topic for presentation, please feel free to contact

Ruiz at the contact information provided below.

Thank you and we look forward to your submission.
