In The Community with Harvard Vanguard | Harvard Vanguard :: Blog

Staff from Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates recently participated in the annual employee health and wellness fair the JFK Federal Building in Boston.? Our registered nurse and medical assistant screened more than 90 people for blood glucose levels.? Throughout the year, our medical staff conduct health screenings at various organizations throughout the Greater Boston area including Chestnut Hill Realty, the Somerville Cambridge Elder Fair, Quincy Chamber?s Healthy Workplace Challenge, the Health & Fitness Expo in Medford and the Billerica Health & Wellness Fair.? We have performed thousands of free glucose, cholesterol,?blood pressure and?BMI?screenings complete with counseling participants about their results.? Although not all participants are Harvard Vanguard patients, our medical staff offer advice and show concern for the health and well-being of all those they screen.

In addition to health screenings, clinicians from behavioral health and physical therapy have provided informative lectures about preventing falls, stretching at your desk and depression around the holidays at the Arlington Men?s Club, the Chelmsford Senior Center and Doble Engineering.

Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates? 4,100 employees are committed to caring for the communities in which our patients live and work.? Staff throughout our 20+ offices support local youth sports, food pantries, shelters and much more on an ongoing basis.? Practices have collected hundreds of coats for Coats for Kids over the past several years.? When the bins for new socks and underwear at Cradles to Crayons were empty, our staff stepped up to the plate and collected thousands of items to carry the organization through several months.? Our generous staff also collected the largest donation of winter hats, scarves and gloves ever received by the Friends of Boston?s Homeless.

Look for Harvard Vanguard this summer at Representative Jeff Sanchez?s ?Back To School Jams? taking place in various Boston neighborhoods and this fall at the Massachusetts Conference for Women at the Boston Exhibition and Convention Center.
