LAKEPORT, Calif. – In February, Worldwide Healing Hands volunteers teamed up with organizers of the warming center in Lakeport to conduct free health screenings for homeless individuals.

Approximately 10 people ranging in age from 4 years to 66 years took advantage of the health screenings while staying at the center located at the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

Dr. Paula Dhanda, Worldwide Healing Hands medical director and founder, was joined by student Jasmin Clarke, nurse Lacey Deas and Family Nurse Practitioner Christine Dalva in checking vital signs and providing consultations for health issues.

Worldwide Healing Hands is a nonprofit organization that conducts free health screenings for homeless and impoverished at various community outreach functions in Lake County.
