Clarkson University’s Physician Assistant Studies Program is gearing up to host its annual Haunted Infirmary from Oct. 25 to 26.
The Haunted Infirmary will run from 6:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. on both Friday and Saturday, Oct. 25 and 26, at the Clarkson Hall, 59 Main St. in Potsdam. Tickets for the event are $15 and proceeds support the Students Without Borders (SWOB) program and its annual mission trip to Nicaragua.
Each year, the PA program sends second and third year PA students along with local health professionals to Nicaragua to provide medical care to impoverished communities. This includes hosting health clinics, home visits, as well as children’s activities, and community health education.
All of the proceeds raised are utilized in funding not only the travel expenses, but also clinic supplies, medications, in-clinic testing, translators, and accommodations.
The Haunted Infirmary is completely student run and strives to provide the best scares in the North Country. To purchase tickets for Friday night, click here. For Saturday night, click here.
