Mayo Clinic is seeking Spanish speaking adult volunteers who have experienced a hospital stay of 2 weeks or more within the last 2 years and used an interpreter while in the hospital, to participate in a research study. The purpose of this study is to understand the challenges faced by Spanish speaking patients who are hospitalized for a long time and who have complex illnesses as well as the use of interpreters during these hospital stays.
You may be eligible to participate if you:
• Are Spanish speaking
• Are over 18 years of age
• Were hospitalized in the last 2 years
• Were in the hospital for 2 weeks or more
• Suffered from a complex or critical illness while in the hospital

Participation will last for 1 hour and includes an online focus group meeting (using a program like Zoom) with 5-10 other people who are either patients or who have family members who are patients. We will ask you to discuss your experiences and thoughts about being in the hospital for a long stay with a complex medical condition, your thoughts about using
an interpreter, as well as how you think hospitals care for patients with language barriers and complex conditions. You will be compensated for your time spent in this study.

On these episode we learn about HAFA https://www.hmongfarmers.com/

Hmong American farmers occupy a unique place in the history of Minnesota’s local foods movement. Since Hmong refugees began resettling from Laos and Thailand to Minnesota in the 1970s as political refugees after the Vietnam War, many families have relied on their agricultural heritage to make a living growing produce and flowers for local farmers markets.

By the late 1980s, Hmong farmers had revitalized the Saint Paul and Minneapolis Farmers Markets, transforming them into some of the most vibrant markets in the country, while also changing Minnesota’s taste buds for Thai chili peppers and Chinese bok choy. As hard working farmers, they provided the fresh produce that fueled the exponential growth of farmers markets into suburban communities and urban corridors, and greatly increased the supply of nutritious, affordable food.

Today, Hmong American farmers are leading the Twin Cities local food economy, making up more than 50% of all the farmers in metropolitan farmers markets. Hmong farmers are at the center of a Minnesota-based local foods economy that according to AgStar Financial Services generates over $250 million in annual sales. Without Hmong farmers, this explosion of awareness and interest in local foods and small-scale farming in Minnesota would not be possible.

Still, Hmong farmers continue to face many barriers to accessing land, financing, training, research and markets and building sustainable family businesses.

In 2011, a group of Hmong American farming families formed the Hmong American Farmers Association (HAFA) because we believed the best people to support Hmong farmers are Hmong farmers themselves and that we are all lifted up when those who are affected by an unfair food system lead the change we seek. We formed with the mission to advance the prosperity of Hmong American farmers through cooperative endeavors, capacity building and advocacy.

As part of an integrated approach to community wealth building, HAFA manages a 155-acre farm in Dakota County where member families can lease land, hone their business and agricultural practices, and sell produce to the HAFA Food Hub.

The HAFA Food Hub aggregates and sells members’ produce through community-supported agriculture (CSA) shares, schools, retailers and institutions.

Through collective farm business development, education and advocacy, we are building paths to wealth creation, not just income generation, toward a sustainable, fair food economy for all.
