NCDHR was one of several exhibitors at Rochester School for the Deaf ’s Annual Spring Festival. Free screenings for hypertension (high blood pressure) were provided by NCDHR researchers Betsy Finigan, MD, and Tamala David, FNP (Family Nurse Practitioner). There was also a short video shown

displaying the upcoming Deaf Health Survey. While the turn-out was relatively small, the weather was wonderful, and Steven Barnett, MD, Associate Director of NCDHR, showed up with his family to help support NCDHR. NCDHR appreciates Tamala David and Betsy Finigan’s efforts

during this event.

This winter, NCDHR attended the “Deaf Health research Poster Session” hosted by the National Technical Institute for the Deaf (NTID) Department of Research and Teacher Education.

There were eleven posters presented at this event, each highlighting the research

conducted by NCDHR researchers and Deaf community partners. Many NCDHR staff and faculty, as well as DHCC members, attended this event.

NCDHR gives thanks to all the participants and the NTID Department of Research and Teacher Education for hosting this event.
