FSC senior nursing students
develop Health & Safety Fair

LAKELAND, Fla. (Nov. 21, 2002) - Three FSC senior nursing students have developed a Health & Safety Fair for 160 middle school students. For their senior nursing project, students Lloyda Rose-Baxter, R.N., of Apopka, Fla.; Jane Tomlinson, R.N., of Montverde, Fla.; and Lisa McGee, R.N., of Maitland, Fla. identified a community need for information on practicing healthy behaviors and then developed and implemented the project to address that need. 

The fair takes place Dec. 3 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at Trinity Christian School, 1022 South Orange Blossom Trail, Apopka, Fla. Events include presentations in dental hygiene, hand washing techniques, nutrition, air rescue, fire safety, and bike and helmet safety. 

Sponsors for the event include the Orlando Regional Medical Center (ORMC) Emergency Department/AirCare, Dietary Department and Infection Control Department; the Apopka Fire Department, the Apopka Police Department, Julia Reys-Daniels of Colgate, and Gregg Stewart, DDS, of Winter Garden Family Health Center.
