Vision & Hearing Screening Event Oct 8th

Posted on October 17, 2024Leave a comment

Fairfax Lions completed a vision and hearing screening event at St. Leo the Great Catholic school in Fairfax on October 8th.  We did vision screening for 56 students, with 2 referrals, and hearing screening for 55 students, with 7 referrals. 

The School Nurse sent this after action note: “Thank you again for helping with this year’s hearing and vision screening. One of the students who did not pass their hearing screening was seen by an audiologist and was diagnosed with bilateral hearing loss. She will be getting hearing aids in the near future. Our first big “catch” for hearing in 6 years.”
