Medical Assistant students from Atlantic County Institute of Technology assisted School Nurse Carrie Jorgenson this week with the annual health screening of students from grades K-12.

“Annually, we are blessed to have the Medical Assistant students come for four days to assist with student assessments. Together we check grades K-12 for vision, hearing, blood pressure, and in students above age 10, scoliosis. If any of the findings are above or below parameters, we notify parents. This has blessed many students, and it is a joy to see the ACIT students caring for our students,” Mrs. Jorgenson said.
