What to expect

A screening, step by step

Trained student volunteers guide participants through a series of stations, with Penn Medicine physicians on site to supervise and provide free consultations.

Follow your visit

  5. Station 05

    Urinalysis

    A urine dipstick screens for findings such as protein that may merit follow-up.

  6. Station 06

    Blood glucose

    A glucose measurement provides information related to diabetes risk.

  8. Station 08
