Through our collaboration with Contra Costa Healthcare for the Homeless, we provide direct healthcare services through our Mobile Clinic, which visits our office every Tuesday and on the fifth Thursday of each month. Services include health-related referrals, physician consultations, and, since September 2024, access to a mental health therapist. We are currently engaging in talks with mobile clinics across San Joaquin County to broaden supportive care for CampesinO families living in this area.

In collaboration with Contra Costa Health Services, La Clínica de la Raza, and Brighter Beginnings, HDC links clients to enrollment specialists for Medi-Cal or Covered California applications. Additionally, we offer weekly enrollment services at our headquarters. Our Health Initiatives Manager and CHW’s are essential in providing direct outreach, education, and enrollment assistance to clients each day. To maintain and grow our ability to provide these vital services to a greater number of individuals in need, we depend on donor and grant funding.

From 2021 to 2023, Hijas del Campo (HDC) organized 19 COVID-19 vaccine clinics, successfully vaccinating more than 1,200 community members, distributing PPE and providing COVID tests. We are still hosting vaccine clinics today, offering flu shots COVID-19 and vaccinations for children. These efforts are a cornerstone of our commitment to ensuring the health and safety of our community, particularly because of the barriers faced when accessing healthcare.  In addition to vaccinations, we also offer educational resources to inform community members about preventive health measures and the importance of maintaining up-to-date vaccinations.

In 2023, Hijas Del Campo partnered with Kaiser Permanente as a Community Based Organization (CBO). Our partnership assists eligible undocumented individuals enrolling in the Kaiser Permanente Community Health Care Plan (CHCP), which provides top tier healthcare services and coverage for those who are ineligible for Medi-Cal. We offer enrollment support during the biannual open enrollment periods.

In collaboration with the Brentwood Lions Club, we are pleased to provide vision services via a Mobile Vision Clinic at our office. Clients start with a preliminary assessment carried out by a qualified Lion team member. If required, they will be provided with a VSP certificate for a complimentary eye exam, which covers free frames and lenses. HDC is committed to supporting every client by providing them with assistance; i.e.. scheduling appointments with local optometrists, facilitating access to care.

In September 2024, the Hijas del Campo Community Health Workers launched the Promotores de Salud program to tackle healthcare disparities faced by migrant and seasonal farmworkers. Under the guidance of HDC’s Health Initiatives Manager, our inaugural cohort  of five Promotoras de Salud, who themselves are members of the farmworker community, will undergo training and certification as Community Health Workers (CHWs) through the Aliados Health training program.
