Community Health Fairs

October 28 | Putnam County

The Georgia Rural Health Innovation Center and MUSM are hosting a series of health fairs in rural communities across Georgia and need medical students to lead teddy bear clinics, conduct blood pressure checks, and perform other health demonstrations. We appreciate when students from the area serve in their home counties, but we encourage everyone to participate.
