Helping those in need
Daytona Beach Regional Campus students, such as Sophie Gorelov, provide vital community services as part of their three-week Community Medicine Course. For her experience, Gorelov spent time at Halifax Urban Ministries, helping those who are homeless or in danger of becoming homeless.

A Teddy Bear to Ease Anxiety
The Daytona Beach Regional Campus held its third annual“ Teddy Bear Clinic” at Spruce Creek Elementary School. The clinic helps young students learn what happens when they visit a doctor’ s office or hospital. Students can hold the instruments and practice on each other and their teddy bear, which they keep. The medical students are passionate about helping the special needs students have fun in this setting, since so many have an increased number of medical visits. It is a very rewarding day for our students, the second graders and their teachers. Regional campus participants included the 18 seniors, Dean George Bernardo, M. D., Peggy Bernardo, Niki Wolcott and Andrea La Douceur.
