|
The South Georgia Farmworker Health Project is a collaborative project of the Emory University Physician Assistant Program, Department of Family and Preventive Medicine, the Southwest Georgia Area Health Education Center (SOWEGA AHEC), and many community partners in the counties surrounding Valdosta and Bainbridge, in south Georgia. The Project began in 1996, and has been recognized for its outreach efforts and service-learning experience offered to students, medical residents, faculty and other volunteers. Utilizing a team of students, faculty, and other volunteers, the Project provides free basic health care to 1200-1600 migrant and seasonal farmworkers over a two-week outreach effort in the migrant camps, packing sheds, and other non-traditional clinical settings.
