and Family Road. A community partnership was established with Smile Studio Dentistry to oversee dental cleaning, dental fillings, and extractions with support from CareSouth Dental and Medical to handle any emergency issues. During the Free Clinic support was provided by the Louisiana Dental Association to aid in compliance with all services provided on site. Efforts to support the success of the clinic were helped by over 700 volunteers from the community. These volunteers helped with medical, dental, vision, pharmacy, hospitality, security, and many other areas within the event. • One of the main successes of the Love Heals Free Clinic was ensuring those who took part in the event had access to long term resources to address critical health needs of the citizens of East Baton Rouge parish. These resources helped to mitigate the long-term effects of COVID-19. Of the 1,349 community members who visited the clinic, 293 received medical services, 432 received dental services, 233 received vision services, 69 received COVID-19 vaccinations, and 245 received COVID-19 test kits. Finally, 23 vendors provided health literacy information, access to healthcare services, and direct support services to individuals who attended the clinic. This information was geared to assist participants with increasing their knowledge about their own health and the impact COVID-19 can have on their health and overall health outcomes.
