For several years now, the companies comprising our agricultural community, Veggies From Mexico, have been organizing health fairs at their Community Development Centers (CDCs) and shelters. These fairs aim to provide farm workers and their families with various medical services, including general consultations, screening tests for diseases like diabetes and blood pressure, vaccination services, educational talks on health and nutrition, and the distribution of free medicines and vitamins. Additionally, various institutions and organizations working in the health sector participate, such as the Mexican Institute of Social Security (IMSS), Un Kilo de Ayuda and Pro Familia de Jornaleros.

Let’s delve into some of the experiences from these health fairs:
