Unfortunately, vision and dental care can’t be done on the same day, so you will need to return. Also, event coordinators said if you feel sick, please do not attend. The event is for preventative care and regular check-ups.
Here are some of the free services available:
Dental: teeth cleaning, fillings, x-rays, extractions
Vision: screenings, eye exams, prescription eyeglasses. (Please bring your current glasses)
Medical: Physical exams, x-rays, ultrasounds, select labs, immunizations, mammograms, and more.
Social workers and interpreters will be on-site to help with any additional questions or issues.
The Clinic is less than one month away and we are still short in these areas! The number of volunteers we have directly impacts the number of patients we are able to serve. Please share and sign up: https://t.co/JUfZ88nTcx #SKCClinic pic.twitter.com/GIpkT21hWS
