MEPN students are busy juggling academics, clinical rotations, and family commitments, yet many even find time to volunteer in the community. Sasha Luecke, 2^nd year MEPN, coordinates volunteers to participate in the Save-A-Life cardiac screenings for adolescents in the SD community. The most recent screening took place on Sunday, September 27^th at Hoover high School.

Sasha reports, “The day went so well because of the great team work of all the volunteers. Even though the number of teens screened (561) was disappointing, 8 were found with some heart abnormality and needed follow-up examinations.  Fortunately, none were at high risk.”
