Public Health Service officer vaccinating Mexican migrant workers, "braceros," in El Paso, Texas. The medical care of migrant workers had been the domain of the Health Services Administration and is now under the aegis of the Health Resources and Services Administration's Bureau of Health Care Delivery and Assistance. The Bureau helps migrant and seasonal farmworkers and their families by funding project grants to State, local, voluntary, public, and private health providers that work with underserved populations. The efforts of Helen L. Johnston and others, which led to the Migrant Health Act of 1962, initiated many of these programs.
