• General Clinic- went well; there was no food, which was bad, but there will be dinner next week; a lot of people were shadowing from class; short on caseworkers; no chiro; one client that was banned keeps coming back; a med student is looking into getting a blood pressure machine for hypertension direction; there’s a new health ed coordinator that’s very helpful, because one coordinator has not showed up, so the new one will come next week to be voted in
