Manage episode 317399690 series 3089734
What does it mean to be healthy in this day and age? Rafael Hernandez (MBEP Housing Associate) and I discussed this question and simply caught up on life, health, and the pursuit of more housing for our fellow farmworkers and families living in the Pajaro & Salinas Valley. From discussions on healthy relationships, finding gratitude, and discovering how the naked truth about the overcrowded housing situation for most farmworkers has led to 972 COVID-19 patients in the agriculture sector (the most represented occupation in the recently published Monterey County Health Department study).
