The Cause:
When ER physician Dr. Gabriel Ledger moved to the Willamette Valley fifteen years ago, the wonderful bounty of our local farms inspired him to learn more about the production of that gorgeous produce, and ultimately, to found the Farm Clinic. A collaboration between Community Outreach Inc. of Corvallis, Gathering Together Farm, Mary's River Grange, and local volunteer healthcare providers, the Farm Clinic has provided much-needed on-site health care to farm workers. Services range from blood pressure and blood sugar checks, to full physicals and urgent care visits. Physical therapy, and even chiropractic, osteopathic, and acupuncture services are offered as well.
The rural location of farm sites and long work days can limit farm workers access to medical services. The Covid19 pandemic and recent fire and smoke hazards have made maintaining health even more challenging in agricultural settings. The Farm Clinic is responding by adding telemedicine services, and, with funds raised by Slow Food Corvallis, hopes to expand in-person and remote services to other local farms, so that all farmworkers can have access to healthcare and health education resources regardless of where they work.
Why Slow Food?
Slow Food USA advocates for good, clean, and fair food for all. A FAIR food system provides access to medical care for the people who work hard every day to get produce from the field to your fork. In a time of national focus on justice, this initiative supports Slow Food USAs Equity, Inclusion and Justice Manifesto.
