PROGRAMS
IAW (International Agricultural Worker Program)
Every year, thousands of international seasonal agricultural workers come to Canada to work in the agriculture industry. 20,000 arrive in Ontario to work on farms and in greenhouses. 4500 are in the Brant, Haldimand and Norfolk Regions through government sanctioned programs. The workers are from Mexico and Caribbean countries. They play a vital role in the industry and contribute to Ontario’s economy.
Primary health care clinics are on site on farms or at mobile clinics in town centres or virtual. The Norfolk FHT and the Grand River CHC continues to explore ways to address health and well-being concerns through social work and health promotion interventions. Physicians, nurse practitioners, translators and administrative staff provide primary health care routine medical care, preventative care and medical attention when you are sick.
The types of care and services offered at a primary care clinic include things like:
- Annual physicals
- laboratory testing
- screening for health conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and cholesterol
- treatment of mild symptoms, such as headache, cough, and sore throat
- treatment of minor injuries such as mild cuts, scrapes and burns
