Leader’s Biography 2001: 
Medical Director, Community Health Services, Fremont, OH
When Jackson realized that thousands of migrant workers and their children couldn’t travel to the Community Health Services center in town, he created a mobile clinic to reach the 8,500 migrant farmworkers and their families in the region. Jackson, the son of a migrant farmer, takes the clinic from camp to camp providing medical care to those who would otherwise go without.
