Our outstanding nursing and pharmacy students volunteer to do health screenings such as blood pressure and blood sugar, and counseling for COPD, acid reflux and diabetes; other screenings are provided from our partnering companies and organizations, and it is all offered free to the public. We also provide free information about prevention, early detection and treatment of disease and offer information about aging, Medicare, Social Security, resources for the uninsured, and many more crucial services. The health festivals offer USN pharmacy and nursing students the opportunity to provide valuable services to the community and gain practical experience in utilizing the education and training they’re receiving at USN.
