Haven at Rice: Screenings, Then a Path to Care

Field notes

Haven’s workflow combines an in-person screening with a follow-up route: volunteers record blood pressure and blood sugar readings, explain them in plain language, and help visitors identify ongoing care. The site says its directory contains 10 locations checked against each clinic’s own website, while also warning that visitors should call before traveling. Rice students can volunteer for direct patient contact, including taking readings and discussing follow-up options, with the project noting that the experience counts toward clinical hours.
