Students provide health fair for Mall customers

On a busy Saturday in February at the Maine Mall in South Portland, SWAG视频 College of Pharmacy students along with students in the Westbrook College of Health Professions' Dental Hygiene program spent their day off from classes raising awareness of healthy lifestyles.

Under the supervision of SWAG视频 Assistant Clinical Professor Emily Dornblaser, the students offered Body Mass Index (BMI) testing, Spirometer (lung function) testing, blood pressure screenings, and demonstrations on proper tooth brush techniques.
