Community service ( and a lot of fun , too !)
Not only are students and faculty busy with clinical coursework and teaching , but they also find time to have fun and give back to their community .
This past spring , members of the Class of 2025 collected feminine hygiene products and donated them to the PACE Center for Girls Treasure Coast in Fort Pierce . Class of 2025 student Taylor Blount organized the initiative . The Chapman Community Health Program funded the supplies , and the students purchased , sorted and filled gift bags and distributed them to the center .
As part of the campus ’ March Wellness Wednesday activities , the Class of 2025 enjoyed archery at the Oxbow Eco-Center & Preserve in Port St . Lucie , organized by Erika Balazs .
