Iglesia Evangelica Arca De Salvacion provides one of the congregational homes for Hispanic Ministries in Eden, NC.
The Cone Health Congregational Nurse Program provided flu
vaccines for the members of this Hispanic church on Sunday, October 26. Congregational Health Nurses provide personal
counseling, health screenings, health promotion activities, educational
programs, and advocacy for clients within the area’s faith community.
There were 15 vaccines administered during this event. An interpreter was available to translate
information and health counseling advice as needed for the participants.
My role in this service learning experience:
My role in this activity included assisting the congregational
nurses with registration, supplies, and documentation as needed.
This is a very rewarding service project. There are two additional Hispanic
congregations scheduled to receive flu vaccines in November. These vaccines are available for adults only;
children may be taken to the public health department to receive flu vaccines.
To be continued…
