On August 16, 2012, Lincoln College’s medical students and their instructors participated in an extremely rewarding volunteer project at the Life Enrichment Center of Dayton. Working in collaboration with the National Kidney Foundation, the students had the opportunity to participate in raising awareness and providing local participants with free screenings for kidney disease. The students registered patients and obtained informed consent from the patients upon arrival. Next, the students collected detailed personal and family health histories, performed blood pressure screenings, measured the height and weight of each patient, screened urine and blood specimens, and prepared the patients for a consultation with the on-site physicians.
The students and instructors from Lincoln College volunteered over 250 man hours and touched the lives of over 100 patients at this event. The representative of the National Kidney Foundation was very impressed with what she described as “top-notch” service that was offered to the patients. The students made such an outstanding impression, the foundation expressed a desire to build a relationship with our medical department so it may continue to contribute volunteers in the future. All of the students that participated in this event and represented our school in a professional manner deserve congratulations on a job well-done.
