Highland Park Oral Screenings!
Today a few of us tagged along with Mrs. McGregor to a church in Highland Park to participate in their health fair. We set up two tables with information on oral health, did oral cancer screenings, and informed people about the VCU school of Dentistry. It was a great experience being apart of the fair. There were many other tables set up . . .gluclose screening, flu shots, blood pressure, massages etc informing this community about their health. Someone spoke about medical insurance, and another gave her story about cardiac arrythmia, another spoke about nutrition. The best part was talking to the people and motivating them. I can't wait for the next volunteer opportunity! Hope you enjoy the pictures.
