This semester I will be working with the Allen County Health Department. They have been around since 1842 and their mission is to improve the life of Allen County Residents. This seems like a broad mission but everything they do, works towards accomplishing that goal. This health department separates itself from others by offering clinical services, such as HIV, STD, and infectious disease management. Most of these clinics are ran by nurses but they are overseen by a physician. The health department also offers immunization services for both here and abroad, as well as refugee necessities. There are numerous projects available for me as a student and I am excited to be working with Susie and the rest of the health department staff!
