Carson Tahoe Health partners with Shriners Hospitals to offer free children’s health clinic
Carson Tahoe Health has once again partnered with the Shriners Hospitals for Children to provide free orthopedic screenings to eligible patients under the age of 18.
These screenings are specially designed for children with a history of orthopedic issues, including those who have been referred by a school nurse. During the clinic, local nurses and physicians will perform thorough orthopedic evaluations, which commonly include scoliosis and foot and ankle testing. All services are provided at no cost, including transportation and accommodations if necessary. A Shriners clown will also be present with balloons to entertain visiting families.
“Carson Tahoe Health is pleased to partner with the Shriners Hospitals, year after year, in support of children and families within our community,” said Ed Epperson, President and CEO of Carson Tahoe Health. “Through these clinics, we can identify and treat orthopedic conditions at the earliest stages possible to prevent lifelong complications and enhance quality of life – at no cost to the family.”
The Shriners Health Clinic will be held on Saturday, April 16, from 9 a.m. to 12:30 pm, at Carson Tahoe Sierra Surgery; 1400 Medical Parkway, Carson City. For information or to see if your child is eligible to participate, call (775) 400-1369.
