The following article appears in the Summer 2020 issue of Third & Broadway magazine<\/a>, scheduled for delivery this month.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Ed Zuroweste was a student at Transylvania University some 50 years ago, he\u2019d harvest tobacco just outside Lexington before the school year kicked off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cutting tobacco under the blazing August sun in Kentucky isn\u2019t what you\u2019d call a pleasant summer job. It\u2019s backbreaking labor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zuroweste, who toiled alongside migrants in those burley fields, went on to graduate in 1971 and then became a medical doctor \u2014 one who has dedicated his career to helping farmworkers who travel with the growing seasons and work hard for little pay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early on, just after he opened a clinic in rural Pennsylvania, Zuroweste saw a patient who happened to be a public health nurse serving more than a thousand migrants who\u2019d travel to the area as apples, peaches and cherries ripened on the branches of orchard trees. After a few months they\u2019d move on, maybe head up north to pick blueberries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI told her I speak Spanish and if she needed any help, let me know.\u201d She did. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

After a while, Zuroweste noticed many of his patients weren\u2019t returning for follow-ups. Turns out, it was because he kept daytime office hours and they had to work the orchards all day. So in 1980, he started a nighttime clinic for them. \u201cIt really brought me back to my roots, and I felt very comfortable with the population,\u201d said Zuroweste, who not only harvested tobacco but also grew up on a farm. \u201cI could relate to them.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(He probably wouldn\u2019t have spoken Spanish had he and a Transy fraternity brother not ventured off to Mexico for their first year of medical school \u2014 he eventually graduated from the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the mid \u201980s, Zuroweste attended a national conference where he helped establish the Migrant Clinicians Network<\/a> and became its founding medical director. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The group helps ensure migrants have a network where they can receive continuous care. Zuroweste was well aware of this problem as a physician in Pennsylvania, where he might, for instance, get patients\u2019 diabetes under control \u2014 but they\u2019d leave after a few months and return the next year with a worsened condition from lack of care in the interim. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MCN also facilitates research and helps health care workers across the country coordinate efforts so they aren\u2019t reinventing the wheel every time a new challenge arises. \u201cOur organization has always been adaptable,\u201d he said. \u201cWhatever the issues are, we have to adapt to those quickly.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of these issues is the coronavirus. \u201cWhen COVID came up it was in our wheelhouse at the Migrant Clinicians Network because we\u2019d worked with things like this in the past.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zuroweste, who also is an assistant professor of medicine at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, specifically has extensive experience with infectious diseases. He served the World Health Organization as a special medical consultant during the H1N1 pandemic and an African Ebola outbreak six years ago, when he used his Spanish to help train 200 Cuban physicians for a treatment center. Zuroweste now runs a tuberculosis clinic and is the TB medical consultant for the state of Pennsylvania\u2019s Department of Health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

When COVID-19 struck, he and other MCN members quickly published informational materials and produced webcasts for migrants and those who treat them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because they\u2019re part of our food production system, these laborers are considered essential workers, and as with hospital employees, they must ply their trade in a risky environment. Migrants often live in communal settings, travel by bus and work side by side (especially in packing houses). Also, if they\u2019re undocumented they may be hesitant to seek help \u2014 or they may miss essential notices because of a language barrier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat we\u2019re finding is there\u2019s a huge number of infected farmworkers right now,\u201d Zuroweste said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That community health clinic he started has received a federal grant to handle migrant farmworker health care for the entire state of Pennsylvania. Challenges the clinic faces during COVID-19 range from the obvious, such as how to test migrants, to the not-so-obvious, like will wearing masks in the field contribute to heat stroke? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Handling such complexity and adapting to rapidly changing circumstances are skills fostered by the broad-based liberal arts education Zuroweste got at Transylvania \u2014 where he was pre-med, president of Delta Sigma Phi and studied a variety of subjects.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He credits the school with making him a better physician than he would have been with just a strict science background. \u201cI think it\u2019s really important to have a broad base of knowledge if you\u2019re going into medicine,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knowing your way around a tobacco barn might come in handy too. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
