School of Health Professions’ physician assistant and respiratory care students joined State Senator Carlos Uresti’s Annual “Back 2 School Fair” Saturday, August 6 at Palo Alto College.

Every year the school kickoff event provides around 10,000 backpacks, school supplies, and other resources to the counties in Senator Uresti’s district- one of the poorest districts in Texas.

Physician assistant students provided blood pressure screening and healthy lifestyle counseling while respiratory care students provided asthma health information and equipment to the hundreds of children and their families in attendance.
