HCHU holds flu clinic

HOPE – Hempstead Hall had a different look Friday as student nurses from the University of Arkansas Community College at Hope were working with the staff of the Hempstead County Health Unit at a mass flu clinic.

The students got valuable experience in giving shots, while staff with the HCHU and Arkansas Department of Health, along with UACCH nursing instructors watched and made sure they followed proper procedures. More than 100 vaccinations were given in the first 90 minutes of the day-long clinic.
