A Service of Keystone Health
Our Mission:
Keystone Health’s history dates back to 1986 when the center was known as Keystone Migrant Health Center. Initially, Keystone was founded to provide health care to migrant and seasonal farm workers residing and working in Franklin County. Today, we strive to provide access to primary and preventative health care services to agricultural workers and their families throughout the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
The Agricultural Worker Program operates seasonally with the exception of those in Adams, Berks and Erie Counties which operate year round. In addition to service sites, health care workers go into the migrant camps to provide basic health care and assess the need for further treatment. When needed, vans bring migrants and their families to the service sites.
Who Qualifies?
Agricultural workers and their immediate family members living in the same household may register for the AWP. Agricultural workers are those individuals working in cultivation, tillage, growing, harvesting, preparation, and on-site processing for market or storage.
This may include:
- Orchards
- Crops
- Dairies
- Mushroom growing
- Tree Farms
- Vineyards
- Nurseries
- Poultry farms
- Fish hatcheries
Qualifying agricultural employers are determined by NAISC tax codes
Verification of agricultural employment is needed during the off season and from those who don’t live in congregate worker housing. Upon verification of eligibility, patients are issued a card that may be used for services at Keystone Health or our contracted partners.
Outreach Services:
The Keystone Agricultural Worker Program provides outreach services at worker housing, farms and other agricultural places of employment

It is possible in the course of your care, Keystone or other contracted providers may recommend medically necessary services outside the services listed above. Unfortunately, the agricultural worker program cannot pay for such ancillary services, however there is help available to apply for charity care programs that can help bridge gaps in care.
