Issue Brief: Barriers Encountered by Agricultural Workers Seeking Specialty Care and Potential Solutions
An issue brief for health centers and clinicians outlining the continuing challenges in providing specialty care to agricultural workers and their families.

The brief then explores opportunities for telehealth, based on a related effort with Harvard’s Center for Health Law and Policy Innovation (CHLPI) that involved workers directly in discussions about telehealth interventions. Finally, based on lessons learned, the brief highlights recommendations for health centers to promote access to specialty care among agricultural workers and their families.
