ANHC staff ready to welcome students and community!
ANHC hosted a multi-part event where the morning kicked off with a ribbon cutting recognizing our newest pharmacy location at College Ave as well as our first Mobile Unit! We had community leaders and officials as well as a state level representative attend and speak. It was followed by breakfast and refreshments with a facility tour.
About an hour later we kicked off our back-to-school celebration and giveaway! ANHC gave away backpacks stuffed with school supplies to approximately 500 children, and we estimate we had over 700 attendees in total. Our event featured a bounce house, smoked hot dogs and hamburgers, funnel cakes, ice cream, UGA football players signing autographs, and a live DJ – all at no cost to the community. These efforts meant a lot, especially to the surrounding area. Although there were other events within the same city offering similar services, they are often held in retail-heavy areas that can be difficult to get to for community members with transportation barriers.
ANHC also offered free blood pressure and glucose checks as well as patient information. ANHC promoted its free nutrition classes for diabetic patients as well as the new pharmacy.
This event was made possible by ANHC, ANHC staff and volunteers, as well as community sponsors. We are so grateful to be able to serve the community that makes all we do possible – as their medical home, and in other ways as often as we are able.
