12. Migrant Farm Worker Health Part 1: Providing Care for Migrant Farm Workers in British Columbia

Many Canadians may not realize that the apples in their fruit basket or the flowers brought home to family may be there because of the contributions of a migrant farm worker (MFW) to the nation. Despite having such a significant impact on the Canadian agricultural landscape, MFWs face inequities in health care access and delivery across the country. In this two part series, Sebastian Lopez Steven, (UBC MSI 2) engages with healthcare workers that provide care to these individuals in British Columbia. Join us for enlightening conversations regarding the major health issues for MFWs and how to bring care to these individuals in a culturally competent manner.


Episode 1 focuses on a chat with Christelle Kuenzig, a nurse practitioner who provides care for MFWs in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia. We chat with Christelle about a general approach to healthcare provision in this population and what needs to change to ensure equity for MFWs across the province and the country.
