On Thursday February 16th the OSU College of Pharmacy conducted an inter-disciplinary outreach event with the OHSU college of Dentistry at a Blazer game in Portland. Students conducted blood glucose screenings as well as blood pressure readings during the hour before game time. In that short time, more than 50 people had their blood pressure read and 15 people had their glucose screened. Despite the disappointment of a Blazer loss to the Clippers, OSU’s presence was recognized as the “Group of the Night” complete with the group featured on the big screen for everyone to see. Students also enjoyed the opportunity to come onto the court following the game to shoot a free throw. All in all, a fun and impactful outreach for all involved!
