We are very excited to announce that Farmworker Health Services, Inc. is now Health Outreach Partners! We have expanded our scope of work, changed our name, and revised our mission in direct response to the feedback, data, and personal stories you have shared.

Over the past couple of years, we’ve seen and heard from so many organizations about the rapid changes in the labor sector and in patient demographics. For outreach staff and other care providers, the distinction between one labor sector and another in need of preventative, enabling, or primary care services often seems artificial.

After a year-long discussion, our board and staff came to the conclusion that as national leaders in health outreach, a scope expansion was not only a smart idea, but a necessary idea. We are very proud that our organization has successfully promoted grassroots community health models and popularized outreach as a legitimate and effective strategy in the farmworker health field, long before their widespread use in other fields.

As we enter our 40th year of work with local communities nationwide, we are prouder still to broaden the beneficiaries of our work, including all underserved, low-income, and vulnerable populations served by health outreach programs.
