Mark your calendar for Wednesday, April 25th from 9am to 1pm to attend a health fair for "Cover the Uninsured Week" at the Woodbury Campus Center located on the Portland campus.

This is the 4th year the College of Nursing is participating in "Cover the Uninsured Week", a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation project which seeks to improve health care for all Americans. 

Cover the Uninsured week brings together business owners, union members, educators, students, patients, physicians, nurses, faith leaders and their congregants and  organizations in all 50 states and the District of Columbia to demand that our nation’s leaders find solutions for the more than 46 million Americans living without health insurance.

The event is being sponsored by graduate nursing students from Helen Peake-Godin's Leadership and Health Policy class. There will be blood pressure screenings, nutrition, smoking cessation, dental, and medical coverage information, along with additional health care information.

There will be a panel of speakers addressing health care coverage and access to services from 10am to 11am.
