Students from the University of Guam and Guam Community College volunteered at a health care outreach/medical mission co-sponsored by the Guam Homeless Coalition and the University of Santo Tomas Alumni Association of Guam on November 7 at Catholic Social Service in Barrigada. UOG nursing students assisted in registration, immunizations, blood pressure, and blood sugar screening for 92 residents of Guam's shelters for homeless individuals and families.
“Students gained valuable experience working with children, adults, and families,” said Dean of the School of Nursing and health Science Dr. Margaret Hattori-Uchima. “Thank you to the University of Guam community for donating clothing and toys for this outreach. It was much appreciated by the participants of this event.” See photos from the event on the UOG Flickr.
