ICYMI: Healthier Lives at School and Beyond, an initiative led by The Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University and ECU Health, works to keep students healthy and in the classroom across eastern North Carolina. During a recent visit to Rose Hill-Magnolia Elementary School in Duplin County, six physician residents from ECU Health and three medical students from Brody were on hand to help “I think exposure and getting out in the community is so important,” Dr. Hansen said. “We’re connecting with the community and we’re treating patients, but it’s more than that. This allows us to get a much different perspective into the levels of medicine needed in different areas and what people have access to and trying to ensure that we provide the best level of care across populations.” Learn more about the event and the importance of the program here: https://lnkd.in/dZPipemA
