UB HEALS worked to organize a foot and vaccine clinic which took place at Holy Cross Shelter in November. Our goal was to focus on caring for those who may be predisposed to conditions such as neuropathy, infection, and injury. By teaming with the Erie County Department of Health, UB HEALS was able to administer COVID-19 and influenza vaccines to individuals.
