HOPE (Helping Older People Equally)

Last week of September is celebrated as Elderly week in Belize. Hillside Clinic, in partnership with HOPE, joined in the celebration by assisting in a whole week program of health assessment, medication maintenance, health education, and pampering with manicure and pedicure (foot care). We enjoyed the socialization. I actually found my true calling….podiatry!!! I ended up doing foot care since we did not have enough volunteers for that service. You should have seen the smiley faces of our elderly patients. Some of them I hardly recognized because they were so well dressed for the event. HOPE WEEK was a great success!
