St.
Joseph of the Hills Catholic Church is located in Eden, NC and provides the
congregational home for the Sunday: 8:30
AM (Español) service.
The Cone Health Congregational Nurse Program provided a Health Screen and Counseling activity for the members of this Parrish that included blood pressure checks, blood sugar screenings, health counseling, and scheduled referrals as needed to the Free Clinic of Rockingham County and Rockingham County Health Department.
In
addition, there were 17 referrals for dental care for the free dental clinic
sponsored by the Cone Congregational Health Program of Rockingham County. This event provided a mobile Dental Bus with
volunteer dentists, dental hygienists/assistances and congregational nurses for
the provision of free dental services on April 12, 2014.
My role
in this service learning experience:
During
this Health Screening program, my role again included checking and recording
blood pressures with documentation provided to the Congregational Health Nurse
as she followed up with blood sugar screenings.
An interpreter was available to translate health counseling advice as
needed for the participants.
