Bringing the clinic to the farm
NYCAMH provides free and convenient on-farm health screenings for farmworkers. Health screening participants gain an understanding of their current health and can ask about any health concerns they have. They may also receive free health-related products or healthy snacks, educational materials, and referrals for follow up care, if needed. Services and materials are provided in participants’ preferred language.

Except for specialized clinics or situations of emergent need, these services are typically available to farms that fall in a 50 mile radius from NYCAMH, where there is a gap in Federally Qualified Health Center coverage.

During health crises like COVID-19 and Avian Influenza, NYCAMH has worked closely with the Department of Health and other entities to respond and provide health support and resources to farms across New York State.
