La diabetes es una condición de salud común pero complicada que enfrentan los trabajadores agrícolas en los Estados Unidos. Para ayudarles a conocer sobre esta enfermedad, Migrant Clinicians Network se asoció con Salvador Sáenz (artista profesional y coloborador) para crear "Mi salud es mi tesoro: una guía para vivir bien con diabetes". Este libro cómico en español explora el tema a través de la historia de un trabajador agrícola llamado Goyo, quien recientemente fue diagnosticado con diabetes.  En la historia Goyo entable conversaciones con otros trabajadores agrícolas sobre dieta, ejercicio, enfermedad, y prevención mientras enfrenta los retos particulares de vivir como migrante.
