Health Fair

Central Lakes College Associate Degree nursing students assisted for the second year with hand hygiene education and blood pressure screening at the Brainerd Lakes Health Fair. Students volunteered to assist with taking blood pressures of residents in the Brainerd Lakes community who attended. They also made available written teaching pamphlets on hypertension, reducing risk of cardiac complications such as stroke and heart attack, and a summary of what the lab numbers mean (cholesterol, triglycerides, BP, etc) Britney Meyer and Lacey McCulley are shown at the CLC Nursing information table labeled "I'm a Fan."
