Lutheran Volunteer Corps (LVC) members Julia Kohler and Rachel Larson spent the last year volunteering at Health Care for the Homeless as part of our Engagement and Communications Departments respectively.

Women's Health Day 2020
02.06.20
On January 29, providers welcomed 37 clients to our annual Women's Health Day! Attendees enjoyed pizza, relaxing crafts and even a photo booth while getting information on crucial health care like pap smears, HIV/HCV testing and flu shots. One attendee stated, "I plan to talk with my primary care provider about more health questions. I have gained so much knowledge from the Women's Health Day."
Every attendee also left with a homemade sugar scrub. Put your self-care front and center, too, by following the recipes below.
