Wheelchair Tuneup Clinic Scheduled
The overwhelming success of a free wheelchair maintenance clinic has prompted a sequel to the event in Van Nuys on Saturday.
“We just really feel like we’ve touched on a need that’s out there,” said Bryan Bishop, a spokesman for Valley Hospital Medical Center. “Last time, there were people that just drove by and saw the sign and quickly went home and got their wheelchairs.”
Saturday’s wheelchair maintenance clinic will be held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the hospital, 14500 Sherman Circle.
A technician from Wheelchair House will be on hand to perform inspections and do minor repairs, including brake adjustments and cleaning of seats, spokes and armrests.
The clinic is being sponsored by the hospital, the Van Nuys Rotary Club, Wheelchair House, and Homedco Group, a provider of home health care services.
