Agricultural Worker Health Program

The Agricultural Worker Health Program (AWH) is a committed resource to agricultural workers by providing health education, health management, transportation, advocacy, and insurance assistance in our Prospect Hill and Moncure Community Health Centers.

Through a strategic partnership with the State of North Carolina, Piedmont Health’s Agricultural Worker Health Program provides vital outreach in seven counties. Our bilingual health workers provide on-site assessments at farmworker camps, bridging the gap between agricultural communities and essential medical care.
