Calvin says these vouchers cover $100 for each service, and each participant in the program receives $1,000 per year. The program helps with everything from labs and injections to x-rays and medications. She says there are also other contracted programs to assist with vision.

“Another very unique program that the farmworker has with Variety Care, is that we provide lifetime benefits to the retired migrant population,” she continues. “That includes their family as well.”

Calvin says the Farm Worker Health Program assists individuals that are H-2A workers,

Calvin even goes the extra mile, often visiting farms to build that relationship with current and future patients. She says her only focus is the health of the workers. “I’ve gone to the farms, and I’ve seen patients with glasses so shattered they could barely see, and I told them, ‘I can help you get new glasses through our program,’” she says.

Variety Care patients say that joining the Farm Worker Health Program is easy and life changing. “I’m grateful for the program and all the help and assistance they gave me as far as my medication,” says program participant Mario Diaz. “They’ve just been there for me.”
