Keep vets smiling with health services at CVTC
Each year, Chippewa Valley Technical College offers free services to veterans, during the Give Vets a Smile one-day event. This year, the college welcomes veterans to campus from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 4, at the Eau Claire campus, to receive these free services.
“This is our way of saying ‘Thank you for serving our country,’” said Don Raymond, respiratory therapy instructor. “Offering these services free of charge to people who are, or have, given service to our country, seems pretty small in comparison. We’re happy to do it.”
Free services include the following:
• A range of dental care and dental hygiene services are available, including oral assessment, patient education, dental cleaning, x-rays, dental exam, fluoride treatment, fillings, extractions, and limited root-canal therapy and denture services.
• A lung test, and get a check of vital signs and a simple spirometry, to screen for COPD, along with COPD education.
• Sit back and relax, while experiencing a free chair massage.
• A free wellness screening, by taking charge of health, and learning more through nutrition and diabetes education.
• Get an assessment and recommendations on need for an assistive walking device.
• Leave looking the best with a free haircut and trim. Registration is required for some services atcvtc.edu.
