her monthly visits to the
center, she averages 40 to 45
people..
In addition to convention-

uses an electric file which
eliminates snags and tears.
According to Maxine Allen,
a nurse who volunteers with
Haynes, this keeps down

helps prevent funguses

suspectible to, Allen said.
Haynes checks for sores

problems with circulation,
these can lead to amputation
if left untreated.

she said.
