More than 35 Griffs, including pre-med, pre-dental, pre-optometry, pre-pharmacy, and PA students, young alumni, and Griff clinicians (James Roland ’04, DDS, Thomas Dobmeier ’06, DDS, Andrew Dobmeier ’16, DDS, Hayden Senn ’16, OD, Nathan Riexinger ’18, DDS and Laura Cavallari Riexinger ’18, DDS) volunteered with Remote Area Medical in Jamestown, NY, September 13 – 15, to host a pop-up clinic providing medical, dental and vision care. Two future Griffs and their fathers also joined our group.
Approximately 240 patients were served, receiving over $185,000 in care.
Three of our current students are training to be Core Volunteers with RAM and will lead their areas at future clinics.
This is the 12th Remote Area Medicine mission supported by Griffs through the Society of PreHealth Professionals student organization and the Dr. George E. Schreiner ’43 Pre-Medical Center.
Fun Fact: Nathan Riexinger ‘18, DDS and Laura Cavallari Riexinger ’18, DDS were on our very first RAM mission in 2018 while they were undergraduates at Canisius and were recently married on September 7 in the Christ the King Chapel.
