On June 12, the “Mathews Mills Community Health Celebration at Mathews UMC” was held.  A few of the community volunteers who helped included Dr. Kenneth Nash, Self Regional Healthcare pharmacists Jimmy Rollins and Carole Bateman, the Blood Connection, and four firefighters from Greenwood City Fire Department.  Representatives participated from various agencies including the Alzheimer’s Association, Best Chance Network, Wellness Works, the Greenwood YMCA, and Piedmont Agency on Aging.   Area Congregational Nurses helped in several areas with health screenings.  We even had four Piedmont Technical College Nursing Students who were a tremendous help!

 
Total registrants 37
Blood Pressure checks 20
Referrals   6

(2 in critical range, referred to see their MD within the next week)

Bone density screenings 25
Blood cholesterol screenings   2
Height/Weight checks 10
Vision checks 20
Attempted blood donors 13 (5 units collected)

Many volunteers assisted to make this event successful.  Each one was invaluable. There were more than forty-four (44) folks who worked to provide health screenings, health education information, community awareness, and children’s activities for the morning and afternoon.  A total of twenty (20) stations were inside the church, and the Blood Connection and Greenwood City Fire Department with the Fire Safety House were located outside.  Also, there was a “Bouncer” (left photo, first row  -and-  middle photo, last row) for the children.  A free lunch was provided to those who stayed for the afternoon activities.  Afternoon games on the lawn were led by Josh Snelling.
