Migrant Health Activities
Author: Williams Harrison
Date Published: 1964
An interim report on the status of program activities under the migrant health act in June 1964. Congress passed the Migrant Health Act of 1962 in order to provide better care to some of the Nation's neediest citizens - migratory farmworkers and their families. Not only poverty and ignorance, but also the migrant's necessarily transient relationship to the community had created tremendous obstacles to the meeting of these families' health needs. To help them, and to provide protection for others, the 1962 act authorized grants for varied projects, with a special emphasis on health service clinics.
