Heart Wellness Clinic for veterans, first responders to be held in Brookfield

A Preventative Cardiology and Heart Wellness Clinic is being held by the Jason Lewis Brookfield Memorial VFW Post next week.  Military Veterans and First Responders an encouraged to attend the clinic on the 23rd, from 6 to 9pm.  It's being held at Brookfield Senior Center. 

The clinic will primarily address the issue of potential heart related conditions.  It has been shown that combat exposure for veterans that have been deployed as well as chronic stress can greatly increase the risk for heart disease at younger ages in combat veterans and first responders. 

Members of the Cardiology Department of The West Haven VA Hospital will conduct personalized risk assessments and recommended treatment plans.  A Connecticut Disabled Veterans Association advisor and a Danbury Veterans Center representative will provide guidance for Veterans not currently enrolled in the VA Program, and answer questions regarding VA Benefits. 

Clinical personnel from Dental Associates of Connecticut will council attendees on the relationship between oral care and heart health. Attendees should bring their service separation paper DD Form 214, if they have it. 

Attendees should RSVP to Van DaCosta at e-mail: i.m.dacosta89@gmail.com or by phone at 203-297-4269 by Friday, October 18.
