Texas State Department of Health Migrant Project. Annual Report 1971.
Texas State Dept. of Health Resources, Austin.
The Texas Migrant Health Project under the State Department of Health aims to: (1) promote and improve medical, dental, and public health services for the domestic agricultural worker and his dependents and (2) encourage and support migrant efforts to participate in and be responsible for personal and family health. During 1969-70, the state was divided into 3 districts encompassing the areas with the heaviest migrant concentrations. Each district employs a public health nurse, a sanitarian, and clerical personnel. In this 1971 annual report, reports are given for each district and the central office. The activities carried out included health education workshops, dental services, conferences, developing materials, public health nursing services, and environmental sanitation services. Even though the number of migrants has declined, the project will continue to analyze, plan, develop, and coordinate public health and allied efforts to promote and protect the health and welfare of migrants and their dependents in Texas.
