The Saint Joseph’s University’s Lancaster location is seeking pregnant volunteers to receive free ultrasounds from students. The ultrasound events will take place from October 29- December 4 every Tuesday and Wednesday at 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. The events are part of the student curriculum at SJU. In order for women to participate, they have to have a prior ultrasound after 18 weeks, volunteers must be 18 years of age, and have a USB drive of 1 BG or higher to receive the sonogram images.
“I think sometimes people can be hesitant or volunteers can be hesitant to come in sometimes if they don’t want to know the gender. Afraid that the students will reveal the gender. Of course, you know, the students have no intentions. They don’t you know, they’re really not going to, you know, be around that area. And if they are, they’re going to let the patient know. You know, I’m going to be looking here. You might want to look away. So it’s it’s not something where we’re going to reveal anything that the patient doesn’t know or the, you know, volunteer doesn’t want to know, “said Kathryn Zale.
Volunteers are asked to schedule an appointment by calling PeggyAnn Matusiak, Administrative Assistant for sonography at SJU, at 717-947-6383.
