Central State University Extension’s Health Education Mobile Unit (HEMU) logged some good mileage this past summer as it was sited at several well-attended community picnics and festivals in Montgomery, Greene and Clark counties.

In bottom picture below: The HEMU again was spotted at the two-day Dayton African American Cultural Festival 2024, held Aug. 17 and 18. Manning the HEMU for varying shifts for the two days were CSU Extension staffers James Keys, interim Southern Regional Extension Associate, Educators Donna Kuykendall, Collier Price, Lindsay Andrews, Dr. Joseph Frank, and Dr. Karen Mathews, director of CSU Health & Psychological Services. This time, CSU Extension was assisted by healthcare volunteers from the Nigerian Women Cultural Organization in the Dayton area. HEMU services typically include free wellness checks for blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol.
