 Caring for feet is among the many health challenges facing people experiencing homelessness. Susan Dyess, Ph.D., and Andra Opalinsky, Ph.D., of the Christine E. Lynne College of Nursing, and Nancy Stein, Ph.D., of the Department of Anthropology, discussed the foot health challenges of people who are homeless at a 'Field to Forum' presentation on the Boca Raton campus last week. Pat Liehr, Ph.D., also of the College of Nursing, shared the 'Field to Forum' approach she and other colleagues pioneered.
During the forum, Steven Roper, Ph.D., executive director of the Peace, Justice and Human Rights Initiative, asked the first question. He told the investigators he wants to further support the project. The initiative had provided $500 to enlarge and mount 20 photos of the team's foot care service for display on cardboard boxes.
