Martin Luther King, Jr. Event

In observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service, the Ryan Hospital held a free wellness and vaccination clinic for the local community. This year our student organizers included a human wellness component. Pet owners were able to address their own personal dental and health concerns with RNs from Penn Nursing and Penn Dental students. Visit here for more photos from the clinic.
