WHITTIER, CA (October 12, 2023) — SCU Health is proud to announce a free Chiropractic Care event open to all Southern Californians on Saturday, October 14 from 1 – 4 p.m. Our monthly SCU Health Community Outreach Clinic is part of a continuing effort to serve the community with integrative, whole person healthcare services, increase the awareness of whole person healthcare benefits, and provide students with clinical experience and patient treatment.
The following healthcare services will be offered at our October 2023 Community Outreach Clinic:
- Chiropractic consultation and treatment. Treatment is based on the consultation and varies, based on the needs of each patient.
No appointments are necessary as patients will be seen on a first-come, first-served basis. The SCU Health Community Outreach Clinic is held on the SCU campus at the Sports Medicine Clinic located inside Building T, across from SCU Health. Please see the SCU Health website for parking information and campus map.
SCU Health Community Outreach Clinics are free and open to the public, with a suggested donation of $5 – $25. All patient donations will benefit La Habra’s non-profit Meals on Wheels, which provides home-delivered meals for anyone unable to prepare or obtain adequate meals, regardless of race, religion, sex, age, or ability to pay.
SCU Health has been hosting free Community Outreach Clinics since June 2020 as a way to serve the community and help prepare SCU Health science students as future physicians. SCU students receive course credit for volunteering but can also volunteer solely to practice. Licensed faculty and clinical physicians supervise the students, and the care patients receive.
The next SCU Health Community Outreach Clinic is scheduled for Saturday, November 18. Full details will be released closer to the next event date.
SCU Health Community Outreach Clinics currently do not receive any outside or donor support. If you would like information on supporting future SCU Health events, please contact Sharon Martinez, SCU Health Provider Liaison, at sharonmartinez@scuhs.edu, or (562) 378-9335.
