CSD Supports Haiti
Lisa Clancy, assistant to the chair and Clinic Director of Communication Sciences and Disorders, traveled there for her first time to help the WSU team. She commented: "It was an amazing experience; something everyone should try at least once. You really never know what to expect until you actually go there." Although not a health care professional herself, Clancy used her organizational support skills to assist in the operating room, film video of surgeries and comfort those who might have been a bit uneasy getting their first blood test, etc.
The WSU team this fall consisted of Clancy; Jean Brickell, chair of Medical Laboratory Sciences, and a couple of her MLS students.
