Augusta University and the College of Nursing partnered once again with health organizations across Georgia and South Carolina to provide health care to farmworkers during the 18th annual Costa Layman International Health Fair Outreach at Costa Farms in Trenton, South Carolina.
Rural seasonal agricultural workers, predominantly Hispanic and Latinos, often face unique health challenges and health disparities by the nature of their work, culture/language barriers and a lack of health care continuity. Many use the emergency room for primary care, which can be costly and time consuming. Common conditions affecting the population include heat and pesticide exposure/injury, animal bites, susceptibility to infectious disease and mental illness including depression, as well as chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and lung conditions.

Georgians for a Healthy Future (GHF) is celebrating 15 years of reimagining and reshaping Georgia's health laws!
