Emerging Issues for Agricultural Workers and their Families:

Please join us for this learning collaborative (LC) opportunity to explore the latest emerging issues for agricultural workers and their families. The COVID-19 pandemic is still a major focus for agricultural workers and their families, including developments around vaccine boosters and hesitancy in the community. Yet, we also find ourselves at a turning point in the pandemic, as severe flu, RSV, and long COVID affect the health of our patients, and the psychological toll of the pandemic continues to impact communities and health center staff alike. The LC is meant for health center community health workers and other frontline staff who serve agricultural worker patients to share challenges, gain strategies, and explore tools and proven examples from the field to address the unique needs of their patients.

Participation in this activity consists of 4 weekly sessions, with each session covering a different topic to better meet the emerging needs of agricultural workers.

Date and Time:

Wednesdays, January 25th, February 1st, 8th, and 15th
11am PT / 2pm ET

Today is Giving Tuesday - an annual day of giving and recognition of non-profits working hard to impact the world. This Giving Tuesday, Health Outreach Partners wants to call attention to the incredible efforts that the nation's healthcare workforce has put forth during the pandemic, and also call attention to the realities facing our industry in the year to come. COVID-19 has exacerbated the nation's shortage of healthcare workers, causing one in five to leave medicine. Recruiting, educating, and training a new generation of diverse healthcare workers will be difficult. Please support us with a small donation today so we can continue to support the health center workforce.

Come Together To Give Thanks and Support Health Equity and Access for All

Health Outreach Partners wishes all of our friends, family, and partners a Happy Thanksgiving Holiday. Many of us will come together in person this year for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic to share a meal and give thanks. This last year HOP has continued to build health center capacity to help advance health equity and increase access to care for the over 30 million people that access community health centers nationally. Central among those people are farmworkers, responsible for getting food to our Thanksgiving celebrations. Please consider HOP when planning your annual Giving Tuesday gifts. Help us keep farmworkers healthy and realize our vision for the future where everyone has access to quality health care.

Sonoma County farmworkers — who are primarily Latinx and Indigenous — face an impossible trade off between their safety and their paycheck. Smoke and extreme heat are associated with severe short- and long-term health harms. But missing work to avoid health risks means missing pay, which also has dire consequences to workers’ health and economic security. One worker shares that it feels like being “locked in a room with four walls, and you cannot find the door.”

Are you looking forward to Labor Day? Whether you plan to take a dip in the pool, barbeque, or soak up the last of the summer sun, we hope that you have a relaxing day off. While you take advantage of the long weekend, also seize the opportunity to remember and truly celebrate its history. Labor Day was first celebrated in 1882 to protest dangerous working conditions, poor wages, extremely long hours and work weeks. While this effort championed fairer working conditions, there is still much work to be done over a century later. The pandemic has exacerbated these issues, especially among frontline workers.

HOP understands that population health is a reflection of care providers. Improving quality and accessibility of care must start with a healthy workforce. That is why HOP has made self-care a cornerstone of our work.

Instead of mourning another 3-day-weekend behind you, why not join HOP and celebrate the spirit of Labor Day everyday? Please support our efforts to support America’s workforce.

Join us in securing a future of health equity for all with your most generous contribution. Donate Today!
