Migrant Farm Workers
A migrant worker is a person who works on farms, in fields or as a food packer during certain times of the year. Migrant workers move to different places to follow the crops.
Cook Children's Health Plan would like to help any Member that is a migrant worker. You can get your Texas Health Steps checkup before it is due if you are leaving the area for work. Please let us know if you are a migrant farm worker family.
