United Hands Health Clinic Overview

Summary

A United Hands Medical Mission is conducted in every country we visit. It is primarily an opportunity to screen for certain diseases; an occasion to educate and advise the community about how to prevent the onset of specific diseases, and how to ameliorate and even reverse particular diseases by making healthy lifestyle choices. In this sense, the health fair is an empowering event.

Health Education

EVERY person who receives services at a United Hands Medical Mission Clinic receives​ Nutrition, Fitness and Lifestyle Counseling

All patients are introduced to the B.E. S.M.A.R.T.â„¢ program (health guidelines outlined in the Bible). Christian literature and gifts are also distributed (tracks, booklets, toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss, etc.).

Triage

Blood pressures are documented. Most adults also have their blood glucose checked. Those who meet established criteria have blood cholesterol checked as well. Adults are evaluated at this station and then directed to the most appropriate stations based on their medical complaints, medical histories and testing results. Children of all ages are welcome to receive our free services.
