2010 Spring Free Clinical Consultation

The ICMA Free Consultation started promptly at 1:00PM, April 18, 2010 in Room 165 at the IUPUI Engineering Building. Physician members representing Family Medicine were Dr. Peggy Hu; Diagnostic Radiology, Dr. Gonz Chua; Radiation Oncology, Dr. Benny Ko; Dentistry, Dr. Jane Chen; Cardiology, Dr. Xinqiang Han; Neurology, Dr. James Zhang; and two volunteer nurses from Dr. Peggy Hu's office. Dr. Hong Ma, a recently licensed physician, was also on board.

Approximately 24 patients with dental problems, medical problems like hypertension, osteoporotic fractures were seen. They were all in stable condition. Blood pressure measurements and glucose levels were also obtained. Appropriate consults and instructions for follow up with their respective practitioners were given.

The clinic ended at 3:00PM followed by a short meeting and assessment of the day's activity. It was felt to be successful with a good turnout. Plans in the future to attract the underserved restaurant workers were discussed. The group ended the day with a group picture for a job well done. My sincere thanks to the members of ICMA for their efforts.
