4th Annual Back to School Bash Covenant Medical Group's 4th Annual Back to School Bash once again brought together healthcare access and community celebration in one powerful day. In partnership with the City of Lubbock Health Department, United Supermarkets, Science Spectrum & OMNI Theater, Junior League of Lubbock, and other generous collaborators, the event created a welcoming, one-stop destination for families preparing for the school year. In just four hours, Covenant Medical Group providers at the Northwest Clinic served 129 children, providing state-required immunizations and sports physicals—ensuring students were healthy, cleared, and ready to learn. Beyond essential preventive care, the Back to School Bash allows families to experience a fun, engaging environment featuring first responder vehicles, interactive science activities, character appearances, games, and hands-on education in nutrition and oral health. By combining high-volume clinical care with joy and community connection, Covenant removes financial and logistical barriers while creating positive healthcare experiences that build trust with families across our region.
