Foot Clinic
A Foot Clinic will be held on September 14 at 1:30 p.m. at the Clinton Seniors’ Centre at 217 Smith Avenue.
The Foot Clinic will be administered by Colleen Thom, a Registered Nurse and Foot Care Nurse with a background in Medical-Surgical Nursing and Geriatrics. Colleen received her Nursing Diploma from Lethbridge Community College in Alberta, and has worked in the health care field for more than two decades, bringing plenty of valuable experience to her mobile Foot Care service.
If you are unsure whether a Foot Care Clinic would be beneficial to you, you can ask yourself a few basic questions to determine if you should book an appointment. Do you find your feet getting sore on a regular basis? Do you experience arthritis, diabetes, injuries, or have ill-fitting shoes? Do you have foot fungus, calluses, or discomforting dry skin?
If you answered “yes” to any of the above, you will certainly benefit from the Foot Clinic.
Remember, this is an opportunity that Clinton residents would normally have to travel far out of town to receive, so be sure to contact Colleen at (250) 819-1632 if you’d like to book an appointment to check your foot health.
