Dr. Anne Calkins, Director of Lourdes Center for Pain & Wellness joined the WEBO Morning show to discuss the Wish For Wellness Event. Lourdes Center for Pain and Wellness opened it’s doors two and a half years ago to serve the community’s needs for a better approach for pain management. The program has evolved into an entire wellness initiative that goes far beyond simply treating people with chronic pain in the community so ravaged with this opioid epidemic. Offering alternatives that not only may alleviate pain but also may relieve anxiety, depression, stress, and obesity go much further to empower the individual and promote overall wellness. Sadly, none of these therapies are covered by most insurances. So, from their wish for a healthier community, the wish for Wellness Event as born. Join them on Saturday, October 27th at the Double Tree in Binghamton to help support this cause. Every dollar raised through this event will support any or all of these therapies with a goal to minimize the need for pain killers and to treat people with chronic pain.
