Volunteer: Free Mobile Health ScreeningsThe Kidney Foundation of Northwest Ohio has started an A1C, glucose, and blood pressure screening program in conjunction with community partners. We have a special focus on underserved populations who are most at risk, including Blacks, Latinos, the unhoused, rural residents, and other marginalized groups. Our goal is to provide basic health screenings, answer questions, and provide resources for follow-up care. Students will assist with blood pressure and blood glucose screenings as well as Point-of-care HgA1c testing. At all events students should be able to provide basic information about high blood pressure, diabetes, and their potential effect on kidney function. Students will need to have the knowledge and skill for collecting Blood Glucose and Blood Pressure (both covered from class) as well as HgA1c using an A1cNow+ Test Kit.
