CCFHC blog#2

Tracy and I recently finished our capstone experience at Catholic Charities Free Health Care Center (CCFHC) in Pittsburgh, PA. It was a great experience that really brought out the concept of how important working as a collaborative health care team is. To provide optimal medical care, physicians, pharmacists, and registered nurses must work hand in hand. That is exactly how the flow of CCFHC worked. Firsthand, I used the resources that CCFHC provided to medically serve the uninsured population of the greater Allegheny County.
            On our last day at CCFHC, they were holding an activity called “Hearts to Soles”. The picture below was the poster we had up on our windows telling patients of the activity. Patients needed to sign up in advance to fill the 75 slots we had available so they could receive their foot examination, free pair of socks, and free pair of brand new shoes. Refreshments were also provided. I thought this was such a wonderful activity and many attended.
