MHSU I |
In
the early 1990s the Lions of Oregon noticed that
there was a lack of preventative health care in
many areas of the state. They wanted to find a
convenient and inexpensive way to provide health
screenings to those that needed it. Looking to
the mission of the OLSHF, the dream of a Mobile
Health Screening Unit was realized in 1994. |
 |
MHSU II |
Each
MHSU is a semi-truck that has been set up like
a small clinic. Professional consultants and other
Lions Foundations have contributed to the design
of the program. Each unit provides school and
public screenings throughout the year. These screenings
are free to those being screened. Most of the
charges for these services are covered by the
OLSHF and the local Lions club. |
 |
Community
screenings are held throughout the year. Lions
Clubs partner with their local community leaders
and schedule the unit for special events. School
screenings are generally scheduled during the
fall months. School screenings are sponsored and
planned by the local Lions Club in cooperation
with their local school or school district. Students
are provided free sight and hearing exams so that
schools can meet the state mandated requirements
for health screenings and save money. |
 |
At
community events, professionals and volunteers man
each station and provide the following screenings:
visual acuity, glaucoma, blood pressure, hearing
and diabetes (with a 3 hour fast)). For
school screenings, professionals, Lions, and PTA
members provide visual acuity and hearing
screenings for the students.
