The Community Health Worker, or Case Worker, engages in outreach efforts directed toward the agricultural worker populations to connect them with the services of Westside Family Healthcare and its collaborating partners. The Community Health Worker travels to farms, labor camps and other housing locations within Kent and Sussex Counties to address the health and social service needs of the migratory and seasonal agricultural workers, acts as a liaison between them and social services agencies, and participates in health fairs.
