A busy afternoon

Our needle shortage this morning was solved thanks to the generosity of the pharmacist at Robicheaux's Pharmacy who gave us all he had.

We were called this afternoon to assess a clinical site at Sacred Heart Church in New Iberia put together by a group from Kentucky. A med/peds doc, Dr. Jeff from Arkansas, who had family in the area has been staffing it for the last few days since the Kentucky group left. We also had a volunteer pharmacist from the community, Christine, who was organized the meds and acted as an interpreter. Several from the Minnesota crew joined in and we were gratefully received by patients and volunteers alike.

Minnesota Lifeline crew who staffed the clinc this afternoon:
