On Oct. 6, Optum Healthcare Center held its annual flu clinic for LW residents with the help of GAF volunteers. Each of the nine time slots had 10 GAF volunteers to guide the line, help fill out the paperwork and provide medical insurance information to receive a flu vaccine. The event turned out well with over 500 residents vaccinated.
