Nursing student Merriam Shelley identified a community need: local Afghani refugee families who did not have adequate medical supplies for at-home care. Merriam worked with Catholic Community Services (CCS) and Professor Francine Jensen to create 100 medical kits that included thermometers, over-the-counter medications, toothbrushes, toothpaste, poison control information, and an instruction booklet that addressed when to medicate at home and when to seek emergency care. The kits will be distributed by CCS during home visits. Students from UVU Nursing and Noorda College of Osteopathic Medicine joined forces with the local community to collect and assemble supplies. Merriam received partial funding from a UVU CHPS student grant and attendees at the Utah Public Health Conference April 2023. Wolverines watch out for the world!
