Clients testing positive for diabetes at the screening will now have access to a special diet provided through the cooperation of the Commission On Economic Opportunity and the Weinberg Food Bank. Shown providing the tests at today’s screening are Jelene Hall, a student at the McCann School of Business and Technology, and Oadie Alsaleh, a graduate of The Commonwealth Medical College. Also shown are clients John Marazio and and Lori Delong.
