The following is from an email by Amy Taylor edited for the blog:
On Tuesday, March 13th the Franklin Street Community Health Center partnered with Neighbor’s Link of Stamford to hold a Health Day. CHC of Stamford brought an array of medical staff and diagnostic equipment to Neighbor’s Link to break down the barriers to accessing medical care. CHC’s Mobile Dental unit had two dental chairs in use for the duration of the day. CHC also offered glucose testing, blood pressure screenings, and electronic vision testing. There were resource tables with literature on STD’s, nutrition, diabetes, hypertension, and applying for state health insurance. CHC medical staff were stationed at these tables to answer any questions participants might have. A CHC Behavioral Health clinician spent the day talking to participants about accessing behavioral health services at CHC.
After completing electronic vision screenings, participants were helped to complete applications for an eyeglass assistance program through the Stamford Lion’s Club.
Blood pressure screenings were given to all of the participants at the event. CHC staff provided world class health care with a world class smile! A huge thank you goes out to all CHC staff who participated in the event!
