Half Moon Bay community event highlights health care, safety measures for farmworkers

More than two dozen farmworkers from around Half Moon Bay have gathered earlier this month for a community event highlighting ways to stay safe around downed power lines and other electrical hazards. Speakers also offered information on California’s newly expanded Medi-Cal system.

Organized by Ethnic Media Services and Peninsula 360 Press, the event was aimed at addressing the need for more and better access to critical information about safety and health care for the farmworker community.
