Q. Who conducts the screenings?
A. The screenings are done by local volunteers overseen by the manager of the Mobile Screening Unit. Volunteers may include local nurses, medical technicians, health occupation students, Lions Clubs members, etc.
Q. How is the visit paid for?
A. The club will receive an invoice on the day of the screening (see back panel for pricing details.) We prefer that the invoice be paid the same day as the screening.
Q. How many people can be screened in a day?
A. The number varies by the type of screening. For community screenings, a maximum of 125 people per 8-hour day. For school screenings, a maximum of 300 students per 6-hour day.
Q. What type of electrical supply is needed?
A. 220 volt 50 amp service is required. Call for plug schematic. The units are equipped with generators for an additional cost (see back panel.)
Q. Do the parents of the students need to provide written permission for the children to be screened?
A. No. By working with the school nurse, we have the permission that is provided at registration.
Q. For a community screening, what is the best location?
A. Location should be chosen based on traffic and visibility. Working in conjunction with other organizations such as community health fairs and being located at senior adults centers work well.
