Farm Worker Family Health Program/Moultrie
Partnering with The Ellenton Farmworker Clinic, the program is centered in agriculturally rich southwest Georgia. Students are housed in the Hampton Inn in Moultrie, Georgia in Colquitt County. Counties served by the Ellenton Clinic are Colquitt, Cook, Brooks and Tift. Each day students deliver preventive care (screenings and well child physicals) to children of migrant workers attending a county sponsored summer school. Evenings are spent delivering episodic care to farmworkers at farms or housing areas.
West Virginia
Students will stay together in a large rental house near Charleston, West Virginia. This group is hosted by the Cabin Creek and New River Health Systems, two Federally-Qualified Health Centers each consisting of 5-6 clinics. Between the various clinics, opportunities exist for health promotion, chronic disease management and acute illness care across the entire spectrum from pediatric to geriatric patients. Both FQHC's excel in the integration of behavioral health in primary care. For more information on these clinics, please see www.cabincreekhealth.com andhttp://www.nrhawv.org. Expect to share close quarters and long days; but also beautiful views and a unique hill-folks culture of hospitality.
