MCO & Rock the Block
MCO Medical Outreach in Kensington
Come join Medical Campus Outreach as we participate in Rock Ministries’ annual “Rock the Block” Street Festival on Saturday, August 10. MCO will be providing free health screens and sharing the Gospel through conversation and prayer with those we meet. This church has partnered with us for several years during The Summer Medical Institute and provides spiritual follow up and practical resources to those who are interested.
When: Saturday, August 10 (11:45 AM – 6:00 PM)
Where: Rock is located at 2755 Kensington Ave, near Somerset. Parking can be found on the nearby side streets.
11:45 AM – 1 PM – Meet at our set up location near the front of church on Kensington Ave for medical and evangelism training
1 – 4:30 PM – medical outreach
4:30 – 5 PM – clean up, restock packs, load supplies
5 – 6 PM – debrief over dinner nearby
This is a huge event, as a portion of Kensington Ave. under the elevated train will be closed for festival activities, grappling and boxing exhibitions, live music and free food (the church will provide us and all volunteers with lunch). We’ll be doing blood pressure, diabetes risk and BMI screens. As big as the event is, we have also found that we have many opportunities for meaningful conversations with the many people we screen. Medical referrals can be given to Esperanza Health Center and the church will provide follow up to those who request it. We’ll get together for dinner afterward for those who can stay! Sign ups will be limited to 20 people.
Participants doing the medical screens on the outreaches must have health insurance and immunizations. Bring a water bottle; wear sunscreen and comfortable closed-toe walking shoes; consider using a baseball cap or hat to protect against bright sunshine. For healthcare students and workers, wear scrubs if you have them.
