About this Article

Student nurses from Aurora University joined the mix of volunteers providing counseling, job training, food and computer assistance Friday morning at Hesed House during the university’s first health clinic at the homeless services center. And they expected a busy day, planning to give blood pressure screenings, flu shots and information about free health services to at least 125 people during the five-hour clinic.
