Free Health Screening and Education

After a Maywood mother brought her children to the Center, they were examined by Loyola’s Mobile Medical Unit staff, who discovered that her 3-year-old daughter was blind in the right eye and her 4-year-old daughter was deaf in her left ear. The Center was able to direct the mother to appropriate resources before the girls were of school age.

On another occasion, Center staff encouraged a mother to have her 4-week-old son evaluated by the Mobile Medical Unit staff, who immediately sent her and the baby to a hospital emergency room. The infant was diagnosed with a serious infection and prompt action by the parent made the difference.

We also encourage parents to utilize the services of the Mobile Medical Unit. The free adult health screenings may prevent more serious problems from developing later in their lives.
