Skid Row Carnival of Love

On January 26th, the Keck Medicine of USC Stroke Program and the Nurses of USC participated in the 2019 Skid Row Carnival of Love. This annual event connects people to resources that provide continued support through their journey out of homelessness. These include clothing donations, medical services, career opportunities, legal advice, feet washing, hair cutting, DMV ID service, and more. Most importantly, the event is about showing love and fellowship to the Skid Row community, and we are so grateful to have been part of it. The team’s spirit of volunteerism and commitment to service makes us all proud to be serving together as a USC family. Our team offered blood pressure screenings and stroke education to over 200 people, teaching the community about stroke warning signs, risk factors and stroke prevention.
