We worked at the local elementary school to provide care and screening for children, and later visited a community in Moultrie to provide foot care, health education, screening, and services to farmworkers and their families.

- Dr. Wold explains screening techniques to BSN students.
-
- Pharmacy students prepare to make signs for the different screening stations.
