Yale Club of Los Angeles, Princeton Club of Southern California, Stanford Alumni of Los Angeles and Bienvenidos (http://bienvenidos.org/) are teaming up to a plan a full service Mobile Health Clinic for the East LA community.  The event will be held on Saturday, May 17th, 2014 at Garfield High School in East LA.

Please sign up as early as possible, as we will need to prepare facilities and invite patients in advance.  The deadline to sign up for medical professionals would be May 1st.  Deadline for non-medical volunteers would be May 10th.

Please tell your favorite medical professionals about the event too!

Please provide your contact and medical professional experience to the right.  Juan Escobedo of Bienvenidos will be contacting you individually to coordinate your roles and responsibilities based on your medical experience.

Ways to Contribute

General doctors would perform checkups, while doctors who are more specialized could give 15-20 minute scheduled talks throughout the day that relates to their expertise.  (For example, a neurosurgeon could talk about alzheimer’s disease or how drugs affect the brain.  A nutritionist could demonstrate how to cook and eat healthy at the kitchen on site.  ­­A cardiologist could talk about how to make lifestyle changes in maintaining a healthy heart.  A midwife could talk about prenatal care.)  Depending on your scope of work, you may be able to perform blood tests, check blood pressures, and provide other services. 

Non-medical professional volunteers would help in registration, greeting, and ushering.  They would also assist medical professionals and community members in Medi-Cal sign-ups.  If volunteers have other relevant experiences, such as CPR training or physical education, they could provide workshops in these areas as well.
