VIDEO: September is Suicide Prevention Month, highlighting a troubling reality: veterans and first responders face significantly higher rates of suicide and mental health challenges compared to the general population.
One local clinic in Meridian is stepping up to support those who serve our communities by offering free brain scans throughout the month.
“Yellow on the temporal lobes, that’s indicative of head trauma,” said Chad Woolner, a Doctor of Chiropractic at Align Integrated Medical Clinic in Meridian, while examining a scan.
After decades in law enforcement and time in the military, Gary Walker is putting his health first.
“It will be interesting to see what kind of damage has been done or not been done,” said Walker, a U.S. Army veteran and retired law enforcement officer.
Woolner is leading a brain health initiative at Align Integrated Medical Clinic by offering free brain scans specifically for first responders and veterans throughout September.
