MCN was founded on the principal that access to high quality, culturally relevant, and population specific information, tools and networking is essential to improving the quality of care for farmworkers. The provision of exceptional technical assistance is at the very core of MCN’s mission and function, which has now expanded to include other mobile under served populations.
MCN staff, board, and core clinical constituents are leading experts in the provision of quality care to the mobile under served. This shared expertise and experience leads to highly innovative and vital technical assistance to sustain and enhance clinical services to mobile populations.
Resources and technical assistance provided by MCN allows migrant and community
health clinics to expand their services, increase access to care, and strengthen
their overall clinical outcomes. MCN's information and services are relevant
to anyone interested or providing direct care to migrants and other under served
populations, including nurses, physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants,
researchers, nurse midwives, outreach workers, promotoras, dentists, dental
hygienists, students, mental health professionals, social workers, case managers,
and others. Please contact MCN staff for assistance with any issue of concern
to migrant health care. Explore the topic areas on the left of this screen for

A Discussion of the Current Definition of Migrant Used in Migant and Community Health Centers
On many occasions, MCN staff has heard from colleagues in the area of migrant health that the official legislated definition of a Migrant or Seasonal Farmworker used in HRSA funded health centers is not representative of the population now being served in many M/CHCs. In order to have a clearer understanding of the opinions held by our colleagues, MCN initiated a 3 week-long survey in June, 2006 to gather information from individuals providing direct health services about the possible strengths or weaknesses of the definition of migrant currently in use. Here are the results.
