Health Checkups at the Family Support Center

On Tuesday June 24, 2014 Pop Wuj Medical Spanish Program participants and staff traveled to Llanos del Pinal for the mid-year health checkup for all of the Family Support Center children and youth.

Students weighed and measured all of the program participants before providing anti-parasitic medicine and checking for lice.

Being checked for lice--all clear!

Any child or youth who was not feeling well or had recently been sick also had a consult with one of the Pop Wuj doctors.

Dr. Hugo provided consults to 38 children and youth.

The children and youth will have another health checkup in December, however the Pop Wuj Clinic is available to them for free consults and medication throughout the entire year.
