Western University Holds Free Health Clinic

A full physical exam and blood pressure check are among the services the event's organizers plan to offer.

Western University of Health Sciences’ Pomona Community Health Action Team will hold a free health clinic from 9 a.m. to noon on Dec. 15 at Madison Elementary School.

The event will offer free a full physical exam, blood pressure check, glucose tests, and Body Mass Index calculation, organizers said through a news release.

Organizers are welcoming all ages. Children’s educational activities will include reading and tutoring, organizers said.

 “We hope to provide wellness physicals to people who might not otherwise get them,” College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific student and Action Team president Emily Utschig. “We can refer them to low-cost or free clinics where they can get follow-up care as needed.”

“We have a large team of students ready and willing to learn in order to positively contribute to the Pomona community,” said second-year COMP student Peter Baum, PCHAT vice president.

Madison Elementary School is at 351 W. Phillips Blvd.

@Muslim radicals are the problem here. This jihad/war whatever the hell you want to call it, willRead More never end in our lifetime. Ultimately the Muslims will win. Look no further than Europe. Unless there is a full fledged worldwide war, they really can't be stopped. Their numbers are too great. What we are doing in Afghanistan is nothing more than swatting away a bee every time one flies out of the hive. But there are millions still in the hive. Unless we close our borders to people from the Middle East and parts of Eastern Europe, what happened in Boston will continue. It's not racist to not like Muslims just like it wasn't racist to not like the Russians during the Cold War or Germans during WWII.

Thanks to these two scum brothers, I can no longer transport my hearty meals in my trusty pressureRead More cooker via backpack. As an alternative, I tried to fit a crock pot, but it ruined my backpack zipper and made a meatball/marinara mess inside my backpack; even making way into the USB ports of my laptop. Sorry, tupperware won't cut it. It just gets too hot and eventually leaves a huge welt on my back.
