TLC Family Chiropractic, Howell, will hold its Patient Appreciation Day Feb. 12. Patients treated on that day will be encouraged to contribute their patient fees to the Oklahaven Children’s Chiropractic Center in Oklahoma City, which specializes in restoring health to severely ill children.
Each year, Oklahaven sponsors a fund-raising event in February called “Have-A-Heart.” The event provides an opportunity for chiropractors to educate their patients about the benefits of chiropractic while at the same time supporting a nonprofit organization. When patients donate their fees, hearts are displayed throughout the office to show their support of Oklahaven. Oklahaven does not receive federal, state or United Way funding and depends on sliding-scale patient fees and the generosity of people from around the world who support a drug-free approach to children’s health.
TLC Family Chiropractic is at 1200 Route 9 south in Howell. For more information, call (732) 409-3445.
