On May 30th we began our partnership with Oakhurst Medical Center by hosting an on-site health screening for the residents. Clinical staff from Oakhurst provided blood pressure and blood sugar readings. Uninsured participants had the option to schedule an appointment for the following week or for a later date. The cost of the appointments will be covered by Star-C.
We had 20 adults participate. Number of residents uninsured and requested a :
Physical: 13
Women’s Well Visit: 6
Dental Exam and Cleaning: 5
Referred to ER for high numbers: 1
-
- Most of the residents asked to schedule physicals and dental appointments, since many have gone years without either.
-
- After we finished, the kids put on an impromptu talent show outside.
-
- We had healthy snacks and got pizza for lunch.
-
- We had so much fun with the kids!
-
- Lots of kids came for the snacks!
-
- It wasn’t hard to hold them captive with free juice.
