A couple weeks ago I sent a program announcement describing CDC funding for rapid HIV testing in non-traditional venues, including migrant health clinics.
I never heard anything and I want to be sure that the announcement was disseminated.
Will anybody who remembers seeing the announcement please reply. Yes will do.
I have another announcement that I would like to send later today.
Thanks to any responders,

-----Original Message-----I wonder if any CHC have issued their own cards to patients. After all, hospitals do this regularly. It might make sense for CHC to follow suit. They would just have the patient name, number and date of issuance.

I'm looking for successful ways CHCs have addressed the problems that arise when farmworkers provide different names and social security numbers on different visits to the health center.
Some non-FQHCs in this region are requiring farmworkers to provide a photo ID as a way of dealing with this problem. I'm bringing to their attention the fact that this is creating a major barrier since they undocumented workers cannot obtain a driver's license or state identification, at least not in Florida. However, I'd also like to know of creative ways communities have found to issue photo identification cards for undocumented farmworkers which could help reduce a number of different barriers they face.
