Through this program, the RHO team provides comprehensive, culturally competent healthcare services directly in the communities where patients live and work. Services include primary medical care, behavioral health, infectious disease screening and treatment, immunizations, health education, and care coordination. By delivering care on-site, the program ensures that farmworkers and their families receive the support they need—regardless of their ability to pay. The FNP will work on the mobile health unit, with clinical hours primarily in the evenings and weekends to align with the availability of the farmworker population. Some shifts may extend late into the evening depending on location and patient volume.
