These screenings include blood pressure, glucose, and cholesterol. All of our members are trained and certified by the American Red Cross and a medical doctor in order to provide these screenings. Volunteers are also required to complete the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) training and provide proof of Hepatitis B immunization. Once trained, APHC volunteers make visits to health fairs, churches, supermarkets, and temples to provide health screenings and education. On average, APHC screens about 120 participants at each site within 4-6 hours. Each quarter, APHC goes out to at least seven health sites.
