= New York Center for Agricultural Medicine and Health = The New York Center for Agricultural Medicine and Health (NYCAMH) was established in the early 1980's when researching occupational health and safety issues among New York's farming population became a priority to two pulmonologists working in a rural healthcare setting. With funding from the Department of Health and Department of Labor, NYCAMH is staff by an interdisciplinary team of epidemiologists, statisticians, information specialist, farm safety educators, social workers, occupational health nurses and various support staff that research, educate and work to prevent farming fatalities.

Research projects address challenges in surveillance of injuries, community-based initiatives to address migrant occupational health challenges and tractor rollover protection. Outreach and education activities include on-farm safety trainings and surveys and farm emergency response training in the areas of first aid, CPR, and fire extinguisher training. Clinical Consultation is provided through our Farmers' Occupational Health Clinic, a diagnostic clinic that can include a worksite assessment as needed. Our center also includes a library which serves the agricultural community, as well as safety and health professionals. Social work services are provided as part of the Farm Partners program which provides free and confidential counseling and case management assistance to farmers and their families. We have also grown to include HealthWorks-a fee for service program, developed in response to the needs of small rural businesses, to provide pre-placement and annual employee evaluations and assure OSHA compliance. NYCAMH is also a member of the New York State Occupational Health Clinic Network, which allows discussion and dissemination of agricultural health and safety information to other occupational health specialists.
