Wellness Clinics

UB Pharmacy students and faculty members assisted local community members at the free sports physical and wellness fair held at the Seneca Babcock Community Center on August 5.

The UB School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences provided health information on asthma management and educated community members on the use of EpiPens and inhalers. The event also provided over 40 free sports and school physicals to community members.

This event was held jointly by the Lighthouse Free Medical Clinic at UB and was an interprofessional collaboration among UB health sciences faculty and students from the schools of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Public Health and Health Professions, the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Social Work, the School of Dental Medicine and the School of Athletic Training.

UB PharmD and other health sciences students led children and their families in activities designed to teach them how to stay healthy this winter during a “Friendsgiving” event in November at Frank A. Sedita Public School 30 on Lowell Place in Buffalo. In one activity, kids “washed” their hands with slime mixed with Glo Germ; a black light revealed the “germs” that had been left behind.
