We offer multiple dental and medical services at the event. Part of our process is a medical check-in station where vitals are taken and recorded on guest-owned paper, forms are filled out, and an explanation of available services helps "triage" guests to a proper direction.

If you are a health care worker that can take vitals (bring own stethoscope and wear scrubs) and willing to help with this station, please sign up and more details will be forthcoming.
