Great!! Can you please ask them if it's possible for them to bring as many BP kits as possible? we need to check everyone's BP (about 150 folks). Also, if anyone has any glucometers & strips available or can get some that would be great because I also want to check everyone's blood sugar. And one more request, if some of them can let us borrow their home weight scales for that day.
I have a poster I created based on one of Dr Oz's shows that I think would be very beneficial to these patients. It has to do with knowing " the 5 values that can save your life":
1-B.P
2-weight
3-waste measurement
4-blood sugar
5-cholesterol
 
so I want to educate everyone on these 5 very important values that can prevent disease and save their lives and I want to be able to give everyone at least 4 of those 5 values to take home on that day and information on how to obtain the cholesterol value at a local lab and how to ensure they maintain the normal values for those 5 things. So this is what I need assistance with from the students.
 
Thank you very much for your support and I look forward to seeing you at the MacDonalds at 0800. 
 
Cecilia
