South University reaches out with the Convoy of Hope |
|
 SU Tampa (Summer 2009) – Nursing and PTA students and faculty in Tampa were busy this summer supporting the Convoy of Hope, whose mission is to feed millions of people in need in the United States and around the world through children’s nutrition initiatives, city wide outreaches and disaster response.
South University students helped thousands of individuals who came through the doors at the Florida State Fair grounds seeking assistance. Students arrived early that morning to set up tables and worked throughout the day performing hundreds of health screenings including blood pressure, body mass indexes, vision tests, accuchecks, mental health assessments, musculoskeletal checks, and other health screenings.
“We received nothing but praise from the community and event organizers,” said
Assistant Professor, Rose Nieves, Ph.D., ARNP-C, MSN. |
