Abstract
Since the migrant farmworker family is a marginal issue among competing priorities for public health services, the logical strategy ought to be the pooling of limited resources at the state and local level to provide maximum benefit for the dollar and the client. A program planning model in inter-agency migrant health services delivery has been developed in Colorado. The model includes tangible evidence of cooperation by front-line service agencies. A task force approach for joint agency programming was initiated at state and local levels, and a structure for accountability was established which was carried out with performance contracts.
