Health Fair

This week at PCOM we are starting to gear up for our school's first official health fair. It will be at Rhodes Jordan Park in Lawrenceville, Georgia and will be staffed by our student volunteers. Our students have volunteered at many other health fairs but it's exciting to be planning one of our own. We've been working with the rest of the school to have students from all of our programs chip in so it will be a great tool to bring us all together as a school and help our community.

Some of the activities we have planned will focus on diabetes self-care, blood pressure monitoring, healthy eating, smoking cessation and immunizations. 

It will be a great opportunity for our students to fine tune their communication skills and to apply the information they've learned in classes all while improving the quality of life for people in our community. 

Here is a picture from a community event we did last year at a local elementary school.

I went with small group of students to the school and we were able to do a interactive presentation to classes of third graders on what being a pharmacist meant. They were so excited and it was so much fun!
