Care, close to home.

The Health & Wellness Outreach is the chapter’s longest-running service program in Sierra Leone. Each year, the chapter sends a small team (or partners with a local clinic) to run a multi-day public health clinic — blood pressure checks, diabetes screening, basic counselling, and referrals.
