In this episode, we are joined by Karen Funkenbusch, Program Director of the Missouri AgrAbility Project. She explains how AgrAbility offers resources, education, and assistance to help agricultural workers remain productive and successful in their daily work. Our discussion also highlights the importance of healthcare practitioners understanding the unique culture of agriculture, as the values, traditions, and challenges of farm life greatly impact healthcare decisions and interventions. Tune in to learn how practitioners can provide effective, client-centered care to agricultural workers and how AgrAbility is making a difference in the lives of those who feed the world.
