Summary:
During my trip to Las Vegas, we planned to achieve many goals and found that some organizations did not list us on their guest list. We missed out on some opportunities such as shadowing the physicians for the 4-hour duration we expected in the beginning. Instead, we were only able to spend it with them for a couples hours. Everything else went smoothly, but ran into a lack of time to other organizations during the trip, but made it overall to all of the events.

Goals:
Goal 1:
Work with the local homeless shelter serving lunch and providing health screenings
I was able to finish this goal by spending our time two days in a row and having patients come up to the building to get a free screening.
Goal 2:
Shadow a cardiologist, pediatrician, orthopedic surgeons.
I was not able to complete the goal, for the time was affected and did not get my shots in time.
Goal 3:
To volunteer at Safe Nest and provide health screenings for volunteers.
I was able to complete the goal because transportation and schedule were on time to set up and perform our duties.
Goal 4:
Reflect and gather all the information needed for my project and head home from Las Vegas
I was able to complete the goal because I had the opportunity and all vehicles were okay to transport back to Cedar City.
Outcomes:
Outcome 1:
By completing the local homeless shelter goal, I made the screening happen for Las Vegas. The benefit of this outcome is some patients learned about their blood pressures, eyesight, glucose levels, and weight.
Outcome 2:
By not completing this goal, I was not able to provide a service and helpful hands to Las Vegas. The negative outcome from this was I wasn't able to learn and help others in a more healthy perspective.
Outcome 3:
By accomplishing my goal, I was able to happily help out and work with Safe Nest in Las Vegas. I great outcome was that I was able to meet some of the great kids working and living in the organization and experience their day to day life with them.
Outcome 4:
By fulfilling this goal, I was able to arrive home safely to Cedar City, UT.
The positive outcome that came from this goal was I was able to share photos and ensure I can finish my EDGE project in time before graduation.
I have attached my Flickr album to show you the places we volunteered and worked with throughout the week. We did not receive and certifications nor flyers for our project, but just organized and took photos.
