Osteoporosis Screenings for the Underserved
Lambda Kappa Sigma - Lambda Chapter, is a co-ed professional pharmacy student organization dedicated to addressing women's health issues. One of our most popular events is focused on providing free osteoporosis education to local communities during health fairs.
We are fundraising to replace our broken osteoporosis machine. For the past few years, we have been unable to provide our screening services due to the lack of a functional portable bone density scanner. With a new machine we can resume offering free osteoporosis screenings to our community. This project not only provides health screenings for our community, it provides pharmacy students the opportunity to practice hands-on patient care, which is crucial for their professional development.
We aim to raise funds to purchase a new osteoporosis screening machine, allowing us to reinstate this service and continue our mission of promoting women's health while providing practical experience for pharmacy students.
