💉💜 Community Care in Action! 💜💉

A HUGE thank you to Conway Regional Medical Center for generously donating 300 flu vaccines to the Community Care Clinic!

On Tuesday, October 6, and Thursday, October 8, the CCC hosted a FREE Flu Vaccine Clinic for our community. 🩺✨ Even more special, the vaccines were administered by 18 senior students from UCA’s School of Nursing, giving them the opportunity to put their skills into action while making a difference in the health of our community.

👏 Great job to our School of Nursing students! We are so proud of you for stepping up, serving others, and showing what compassionate healthcare looks like. 💜

And another BIG thank you to Conway Regional Medical Center for helping us make this opportunity possible. Together, we’re keeping our community healthier—one vaccine at a time! 💉
