Community Health & Optical Training
This week of training aims to equip students with essential knowledge of health and hygiene, as well as important medical skills. Students will learn how to accurately measure blood pressure and vital signs, care for wounds, perform infant resuscitation, and test vision to determine basic prescription requirements for eyeglasses. The goal of this training is to prepare students for upcoming outreach programs in other countries, where they will serve as trainers for local workers. These workers will then use the skills acquired during this training to promote evangelism and improve community health.
Classes are held at CompassionLink, 415 E. Chestnut Expressway, Springfield, MO, from September 22 to 26, 2025, Monday through Friday, from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, with lunch provided.
