NFMC, MCN Earn Research Award from National Safety Council
Wisconsin Ag Connection - 05/20/2015

The National Farm Medicine Center, Migrant Clinicians Network, and four partner organizations received the inaugural Stakeholder Collaboration in Occupational Injury Research Award, sponsored by the National Safety Council. The award was presented this week as part of the National Occupational Injury Research Symposium in West Virginia.

The award recognizes broad stakeholder collaborative efforts in the Seguridad en las Lecherķas: Immigrant Dairy Worker Health and Safety Project, being conducted in Wisconsin.

"Dairy workers have a high rate of occupational injury," said Amy K. Liebman, MPA, MA, a co-director for the project, and director of environmental and occupational health at MCN. "The Seguridad project shows that for a huge problem like work-related health and safety on dairy farms, collaboration--between workers, producers, researchers and health and safety practitioners--is an effective approach to ensure worker protection."

Liebman and National Farm Medicine Center Project Coordinator Iris Anne Reyes, MPH, accepted the award on behalf of the project team, which is led by Farm Center Director Matthew Keifer, MD, MPH, and includes the Farm Center's Yurany Ninco Sanchez, RN, community outreach trainer.

The Farm Center is part of Marshfield Clinic Research Foundation.
