‘Give back’ to veterans, first-responders
The Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce is hoping to "give back" to veterans and first-responders by raising money to assist with the cost of a specialized treatment many need.
Chamber members scheduled an April 25 benefit at 7 Ranges Entertainment to raise money to purchase TMS treatment machines so veterans and first responders diagnosed with major depression can receive free treatment.
According to Cleveland Clinic, transcranial magnetic stimulation is a pain-free, noninvasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to trigger nerve cells in your brain. It may help manage conditions like depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder and certain types of migraine and is approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration for use when other depression treatments haven't been effective. Treatments, which can be costly, are usually administered five days a week for six weeks.
Twenty-percent of all purchases at 7 Ranges from noon-8 p.m. will be donated to Operation Veteran Payback.
