a. Care is restricted to those who can document that they are employed in agriculture.
b. They are much better funded than typical rural clinics.
c. Staff are typically bilingual and bicultural.
d. They welcome illegal immigrants to receive care.
ANS: C
The MHCs and the Migrant Health Program provide comprehensive nursing and medical care and support services to migrant and seasonal farm workers and their families from many countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. Bilingual, bicultural health personnel, including lay outreach workers, use culturally appropriate protocols for providing primary care, preventive health care, transportation, dental care, pharmaceuticals, and environmental health. The funding at the MHC may not be any different than other rural clinics. Their primary purpose is not to provide care to illegal immigrants, rather to migrant and seasonal workers.
